Gracie absolutely hates riding in the car! I hoped putting her in the car and driving to the end of the driveway every time we went for a walk would have helped. I took Gracie to the Vet this morning. He can’t find anything wrong with her foot, there just doesn’t seem to be a reason she won’t use it. We’re assuming it’s neurological – a pinched nerve somewhere. She got a shot of Steroids and I’ll start a round of Rimadyl on Friday. If it was a stress fracture, she should exhibit signs of pain upon pressure and there’s no indication of that. She’s too young for a bone tumor.

Please, Mother Nature . . . enough already with the snow. Thank You! My right knee was feeling funny this morning, and as per usual when it feels funny, there’s that bump on the right side when I bend it. At yoga tonight I experienced some cramping at the back of my right knee, but was able to continue.

I forgot to wear earrings. Steve got the mirror invention for my exercise room assembled and it works exactly as I planned!

Since we went to Mass yesterday, we skipped it this morning and I spent some time on the treadmill instead. Steve’s kids joined us for dinner.

A Funeral Mass this morning has me thinking it’s Sunday. Ewwwww! I just vacuumed behind my washer and dryer.

Avery’s dentist appointment was a bust and she’s been referred to a pediatric specialist. We had a funeral lunch and Avery really was helpful when it came to clearing tables! Avery’s first attempt at ice skating went very well! She was able to glide a bit on her own and get up from a fall by herself.

OUCH! My shoulders hurt. 2009 is finally off my TaskList.

Gracie’s foot is no better this morning, nor is it any worse. She does step on it sometimes, but prefers to hop around on three legs. I just registered us for Tour de Tonka 2010. The 100 mile route!

My hip didn’t hurt at all last night! I wish I knew why. In an effort to get more done at my office, I’ve dtiched the distraction of both Twitter and Facebook. Piano lesson followed by Hot Power Fusion at CorePower Yoga. Gracie is limping. She doesn’t want to set her right foot down. There’s no blood, no swelling, no obvious injury.

“WordPress 2.9.2 is available! Please update now.” It’s not like me to be not even remotely interested in figuring out how to do that myself. I really should at least figure out how to save a backup. Today I intensify my efforts to keep as much of my personal stuff “in the cloud” as possible. I really want to be specific machine independent. At this time, I can’t access Google documents from my M4400 when it’s docked to my office network and I need to get that fixed.
