It's a new year

So I'm really behind on stuff. I think about you, but unfortunately don't have much time for sitting and typing.

I have signed up for a 5k on Jan 21st and doubled my running efforts. I have been working very hard on getting better but was waylaid for awhile by a massive amount of pain in my right foot. It felt like the bottom of my foot was bruised from heel to toe. I spoke with a friend who runs frequently and she said I needed new running shoes.

Oh.

Well, I am still very new at running so I just bought my new shoes and went on with it. My foot still hurts (bought the shoes 2 days ago) but not nearly as much and now it's just the heel.

So that's a great improvement... my foot has been hurting for about 4 months. Yeah.

Really looking forward to this 5k! I've been eating well and working out well and I'm excited about what is in the future for my with my exercising. And with looking better. That's always a consideration, too.

I ate brussel sprouts for the first time in a long, long time too. They're good sauteed in olive oil. I feel like I broke through a sterotype I'd had for a long time. Now that I'm done with that bag, I don't intend to buy them for awhile, however. You can only eat so much of something before you don't want to see it again.

Isaac is amazing, of course. He has been in underwear for nearly 2 months now. It isn't perfect, but it's getting better and accidents are happening less frequently. *Knock on wood that I don't jinx myself.*

I don't miss buying diapers.

We're under 100 days for Paul coming home. I miss him like crazy and am SO looking forward to having him home. I know Isaac is, too.

I'm in the middle of another major house change, like the bathroom. So that's keeping me busy. This one, I'll be calling a professional in here in a few days. Progress has been made! After this, next is the flooring and then we'll be done for awhile.... maybe even for good.

Okay, probably not. I dream one day of having our master bath sink contained in a room with the toilet and tub.
