more unconnected bits

A few random bits...

My shoulder still aches from the fall I took on my skates yesterday. I am such a whiner -- today, telling my dad about it (Dad, bless him, suffers from a veritable laundry list of physical ailments, but pushes himself too hard and never complains), I felt like one of those REALLY ANNOYING size five women who whine about how fat they are. (Note: If you wear a size 5 and say, "I'm so fat," within my hearing, be prepared to be sat upon.) But the fact remains that I keep being reminded of the spectacularness of my crash every time I attempt to do something mundane with my left arm, like raise my hand to move my hair out of my face, or hang clothes on the line. Ouch.

LT is having his first sleepover tonight. One of his friends is going fishing with him (and his sister, father, and grandpa) tomorrow morning bright and early, so we invited him to spend the night tonight. It is really touching, how excited my little boy is. He's actually cleaning his room without being told. And making the bottom bunk of his bed. I know. If I'd known this was all it would take I'd have started inviting his friends over to spend the night years ago. Hey, I bet I can get the best and quickest school work out of him ever if I tell him that his friend can come up as soon as we're done with school this afternoon. I'm gonna go find out. ;-)
