Prom Picture

Prom pictures were delivered today! I did not know that chaperones could have their picture taken for free at prom, and since I'm always by myself, why would I have taken a picture of myself anyways. But this year Gretchen (left) grabbed me and said let's go! And so voilà my picture! I got a 5x7 and four wallets. I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to find four friends who would want a wallet picture of me at prom, but I pressed three students into taking them. Good thing, because I'm not really sure I care about having a picture of me. Anywhere.

I also bought some more heavy duty wire to put up this afternoon to keep out the ducks, but I don't want to be outside because it's windy. It is so windy I couldn't get the door open on my truck to get in the car. It is so windy, I thought I was going to blow away on my way to the car. No duck fence repair today.

Though I am still being cautiously optimistic, I have had hardly any sciatic pain this week. Like on the pain scale it would be a 2, where I am normally at 7 or 8 and sometimes 9. This morning I even ran a mile! A whole mile without stopping and I don't hurt. This could be the most amazing advancement ever; particularly since Gretchen says she has one of the electric impulse machines at home that she'll let me use. I'll walk around with electrodes attached to my butt 24/7 if it means I can walk. Sure it might look bizarre, but I'm willing to take that chance. I might even be able to hike again this summer! Imagine!

(Pretty sure my boobs could not look bigger.)
