Ok, I’m back. Sorry about that.

I was chopping an onion last night and well, some how the top 1/2 of my pinky finger got involved. I sliced through the nail and into some flesh, but it’s not as deep as I thought. It’s hardly deep at all, actually, but the skin under the fingernail is so sensitive that it hurt so bad. I cried mainly because I was scared. And then I took 3 Ibuprofen and fell asleep on the couch at 8:30.

I really needed the sleep, though so I’m thankful I got a restful, albeit painful, night.

So now I’m back! My marathon maladies are getting better, which is good. I am hardly sore at all (except my hip—but it doesn’t hurt anymore than it did before the marathon, which is a good sign). My toes are healing nicely too!

As is Dave’s poison ivy. He had to go to the doctor’s to get some ‘roids. Oh boy!

I don’t really think I’ll have anything to talk about on the blog whenever the two of us are healed and healthy. I might have to have Dave break my legs in my sleep so that I can keep my readership.

In the meantime…let’s pick up where we left off, shall we?

30 Day Challenge

Day 11

The iPod Shuffle

Ok, I’m going to play this game a little differently today. Instead of giving you the 10 random songs, I’ll let you know the music that was on my marathon playlist! Which, incidentally, I didn’t listen to. Well, not much of it. I put my head phones in right at the start and about 7 miles in I looked at Kim and said, “I’m not listening to anything.” I didn’t turn my sermons on until around mile 14 and then I listened to 2 sermons (about 2 hours) and then my music kicked on. Before I knew it, I was done.

Be warned! This is an extremely eclectic list!!

But here is the playlist (minus the sermons):
