Pop, Crack, Damn

I was just settling in for a nice relaxing night this past Sunday when I made a wrong step and felt my ankle buckle and pop. I went down right on top of it and screamed on the way down worrying Josh to death. We got me up on the bed and elevated it and put ice on it and by Monday morning it was huge and I couldn't walk. Josh got me crutches on Monday, and by this evening I'm now down to a cane (its nice having grandparents-in-law nearby), which is much less cumbersome than crutches. This makes the third time I've injured my ankle enough to need crutches, first time 5th grade, second time 11th grade, so I figure I'm way overdue for that kind of injury. On top of that, the computer decided to crash so I've just done the recovery this evening and am now typing away, happy to have my connection back.

Speaking of cumbersome, I read in our local paper today that the $200 per ticket (right now, introductory price, get 'em while they're "cheap") music festival has booked Seven Mary Three and Nappy Roots as the headlining acts for a 4 day festival. I've got my 7M3 spies on the job, and would most likely be seeing them for about $30 if memory serves this Saturday if it weren't for my sister moving and needing help and my now-bum ankle. We hope to me moving ourselves this year, so you get what you give, if you will, and hey its family. At least Josh is able.

Not much else is going on in these parts, I've been catching up on my reading and Josh has been in front of the tv tonight, March madness and all. Our brackets got busted with Texas Tech and Duke losing, but hey I'll give up a point on my bracket to see Duke lose anyday.
