And, if there is another time I golf, I will drive the cart. We had a little accident with the golf cart - well, how to put this gently - I got hit by the golf cart, knocked me down, severely sprained my wrist - casted at urgent care *fortunately no breaks*, braced by orthopedic. The driver wasn't drinking…at all! I was!
A sprained right arm/wrist totally wrecked my weekend and the first few days of this week. It's pretty hard to do anything when you only have one hand, as I did for four days. Saturday I spent napping and sitting around - I actually took one pain pill and it wiped me out. Sunday, was a little better - still very limited movement in my hand and still a fair amount of pain. Sat around again - did what I could - not a lot though. Went to ortho on Monday - he gave me a brace to wear for the majority of my time, and some drugs that, as the pharmacist says are "jacked up motrin." They are anti-inflammatories and pain pills…took one yesterday - wiped me out - I had to keep walking around the house to keep from going to sleep. But, I do not enjoy sitting around. There's nothing worse - just sitting - trying to figure out something to do to keep me awake/interested.
We had a mini Mango Tree Foundation fundraiser on Monday night. It was a lot of fun and we raised about $800. It was a Mary Kay cosmetics Makeover Fundraiser - 50% of the total sold in cosmetics will be donated to Mango Tree Foundation. How awesome is that? Still working on Girls Night Out for September. We need to figure out how to make sure we have enough people - 150 would be freaking amazing! Want to do it at Pico Autentico - a Latin American theme - tasting Latin American wines and eating Latin American food! Maybe even a little music?!? Would be so much fun.
I was able to swim on Monday - no pain in the pool. Took yesterday off - mostly because I was so tired from being up on Monday night until midnight. Then realized that, already, I'm out/off my "new" workout schedule. I am ready to go today. Will swim, try pilates tonight. Meeting with a nutritionist this afternoon at 5 - before pilates. Going to movies with friends tonight.
I have got to, got to find something mental to do. I can't continue to be as bored as I have been…it makes me whiny and needy.
Work in progress.

PS - Swam 24 lengths today…in 40 minutes! 6 breast, 12 free style, 6 kicking…first 16 in 30 minutes. Pool was a cluster - ended up having 3 other people sharing my lane - two older guys and a lady (for a while). Bumped into one of the men - who told me we are supposed to always swim on the right side of the lane - okay, that's cool - but then don't freaking flop around in the middle of the pool…I'm willing to share but seriously! Aarrgghhh!!!!!!!!!
