A Busy Week, Surgery and Car ...

Well, it was another crazy week here. Between work (busy getting ready for the new year and all of the exciting things coming up at the Janesville Athletic Club), the kids activities ... I know I am like many, running kiddos to different practices, meets and events (we weren't home one night this week) and trying to get everything else done that life throws at all of us, I am beat. This next week is no different, but then the kids are off for holiday break. Ahhhh, it'll be nice. 

In SO many ways I am looking forward to surgery, one of those reasons being is that I can legitimately rest for a few days before I go back to my office work (no teaching for a bit - so don't worry).  Just TWO weeks from tomorrow!!!! 

I am fortunate to have a doctor that is also a runner/triathlete. That is great as she understands my questions about healing timeframe, that it won't affect my upcoming season and all of that good stuff. I did text her several more questions, as naturally, I am getting a little nervous, which she said was completely understandable. Lucky to have such a great doctor on my side :-). 

Training will officially resume after I am fully recovered, but please know when I start to gradually get back to it, I will have approval from my doctor to do so ... So no lecturing ;-).  I have 2 weeks to finish preparing my body for surgery, so I will be working hard to get it ready. 

Saturday morning wasn't so great.  It started out well with some time with the Jackman, but after that ... It kind of went downhill.  I was in a bit of a fender bender at about 10 that morning. Was backing out of my parking spot at Target and went to hit the break and my foot slipped off the break and hit the gas instead (to clarify, it was wet and snowy out).  No one was hurt except Gigi (my grocery getter), my pride and some damage to the parked car that I hit. I called the police, went into Target and had them make an announcement to notify the other party. When the gentleman came out, he was so nice and appreciative that I had already handled everything. It made a crappy experience, not so crappy ... Yes there are still kind people out there. 

Already talked to the insurance agent and taking it in on Monday morning and will hopefully get this repair train started. Gotta love American Family. 

Hope you all had a wonderful week and the holidays aren't too hectic for you all. We are looking forward to a relatively quiet Christmas. Celebrating with B's family next weekend and my parents on Christmas Eve, then we are home (just us) on Christmas Day. Can't wait for a relaxing morning and dinner at Fuji for soooooshi with the kiddos Christmas night  :-). 

Night all, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and remember ... Life is good. Enjoy it, love it and be kind to one another.
