Wow, it’s been over a month since I posted an update. I’ve been keeping up on some other posts thought.
It has been some challenging times for me… I had no idea that breaking my foot could affect my entire body… I’ve been in pain for the last month or so. I have pain in my back, my arms, my neck, my shoulders… I overstretch my muscles because I’m trying to do things that would normally, forgetting that my foot injury puts some limitations… I was able to drive, but it was exhausting… And I had to take my boot off and put a soft boot on for driving, then take the soft boot of and put the regular boot on every time I needed to go the store, or work, or my sister’s, etc… Now I know that injuring the foot is not a joke. I don’t want sound like a cry baby, but this took a toll on me… The work was had been exhausting, as I’ve been over allocated (according to my manager) by at least 150%.

The good news is that my foot is healing nicely. I went to the doctor’s last week and he told me that can start slowly transitioning from the boot to a solid shoe when I walk. I’m so happy that I don’t need a surgery. I just need to be very careful and let it heal all the way. I feel more comfortable driving now. I still try not to step on my foot all the way… which causes other pains, as my body is trying to compensate for that… But… I feel pretty confident that the healing is progressing well!

Bttrfly, Irish, thanks for stopping by.
Bttrfly, I’ve following your thread and I’m so feel for you, with your court date only hours away.

Irish, you might be right about H thinking that he destroyed everything and there no way back and everyone just needs to move on. The only exception is that he still keeps the status quo… Which to me means not completely moving on… but, he might have a different prospective on this…

So, a few things happen since my last post. And, they might be insignificant… but made me think. For Thanksgiving we were invited to H’s brother’s. It was my family and a couple – BILs friend and his wife. I also know this friend from the days when we had football tickets and were tailgating with a bunch of people. Needless to say, he also knows H, as we were together back then. BIL’s friends left early, and it was pretty much my family and BIL. This year we had everyone, including my sister, who worked on the Thanksgiving for the last few years (she is a nurse.) After dinner and a few drinks (when I was feeling merry, LOL), I texted H to wish him a happy Thanksgiving. He replied back right away, asking me if I was at his brother’s. I replied back with a picture of everyone (except me, since I took the picture). He replied back, amazed at how my nephews had grown up and how he didn’t recognize one of them. Yeah… MLC timer…

Then a couple of weeks ago H called me… He was trying to do his payroll and was getting some error on QB because he run an upgrade. He was asking me if I knew what that error was. I told him that I didn’t run an upgrade, so I have no idea. He said that he would call QB and try to figure it out. Then he texted me to tell me that there was a good deal on a new version of QB and if we should get it. To make the story short, he wanted to consult with me before doing taking any action. I guess I’m still a keeper, LOL! I told him to go ahead and upgrade to a new version. He then sent me the info. So… two things here… First, he wanted my opinion and my input on this. Second, he was able to do it on his own after receiving my “blessing”, LOL. I was pretty accretive and confident about the matter when I spoke with him and texted him. I have a feeling that he needed that…

He was traveling back to the vacation home place at the time. I guess he is done with his work for the winter and is going to stay at the vacation home for a few months. As far as I know he never stopped by my city on his way. He came over yesterday to pick up a shipment that he sent to his brother’s house. I think it is a new TV. He texted me yesterday telling me that he was coming down and then he would be leaving next morning (today) and what would be the best time to pick up his mail. Well… I just sent him his mail a couple of weeks ago to his PO box at the border city. I didn’t really have any “important” mail for him. But… I played dumb and told him that the best time would be this morning. I had a feeling that there was something else besides the mail… I was right. He came this morning and wanted to see if he could take a cutting saw from the garage. He told me that he thought there were two of them and asked me if he could take one. I told him that he could take one, as long as there was another one, because I have people doing some work for me who might need it, hehe. So, I let him to take a cutting saw… What was amazing to me is that he remembered that there two of them in the garage! I guess, they do remember things, LOL.

So, this is when I got a compliment on my car (I think I’m going to run out of a smiley emoticons here…). He saw my new car last time when he stopped by the house. The car was parked in the driveway, because the garage door was broken. This is when I posted that he didn’t say anything about my car. Well… this time I guess he had no choice… and kind of mumbled “nice car… Audi, ha…”

I had a New Years card for him when he came and I gave it him. I thought he would bring a card for my son and his GF, but apparently he didn’t have one. When he was leaving I wished him happy holidays, etc… To which he replied that he would see me on the holidays and sounded a bit confused about me wishing him happy holidays… I’m going to the vacation home for the Christmas weekend, actually taking a couple of days more, so it is going to be a mini vacation! Our mutual friends know that I’m coming and we are also having a party at other friends’ house. My guess is that he knows from my mutual friends that I will be there, and thinks that we could cross paths somewhere. At the same time, he played dumb about my foot injury… He asked me what happened like he didn’t know a thing… I kind of have to doubt that… But… I might be wrong… You never know what is going on in MLCer mind…
