My fracture has healed and I can gradually take my boot off for increasing hours each day this week. Yeah! The podiatrist gave me a dozen warnings: it will take a year for the foot to be completely healed, wear Keen boots and don't turn your foot, watch out for ice, etc. What is it going to be like to have two matching socks and two matching shoes? Cool.
I shopped after for stocking stuffers and then went out to lunch. I'm not going to overdo it, but I'm happy to not have to wobble to the car in my boot, take it off, put on the shoe for driving, stop, put on the boot again, then repeat the process when I come back to the car.
I had fun at the old fashioned toy store I favor looking at puppets, stuffies, games, doll clothes, baby toys (I needed to get one baby gift), and generally just have fun imagining all the delight many small children are about to experience. I had fun in Whole Foods as well with adult stocking stuffers, as well as fudge and caramel sauces in glass jars.
When I returned home my husband had brought up all the boxes of decorations, and we worked on that for while before lunch. I love seeing the stuff again each year. And I keep a critical eye out for stuff to get rid of. This year I have extra enthusiasm because our granddaughter will be here.
