Ohhh...man alive (as my mom used to say) my dogs are barkin'! And by dogs I mean my feet...and by barkin' I mean my feet are SO SORE! Although...a little bit ago my real dog was really barkin' :-) I don't what it was about today but my whole lower body is sore. My lower back is sore, my hips are sore (one is left over sore from two nights ago when Roxy slept against me all weird), my knees are sore, my ankles are sore...Holey Moley! I guess I just really full-body taught today...hmm :-)

The one thing that is feeling better is my left heel. For the past six months my left heel has been unbearably painful and I can't figure out why. Like when I get out of bed I'm limping...picture an old lady and you'd have the image. So, through a strangely coincidental story I shall share later I was scrapbooking with my 8th grade PE teacher and was mentioning this pain. She said right away that she thought it was *fasciitis* (sp?)...and she started telling me my symptoms and she was so right it was creepy. Turns out fasciitis is caused by arches falling or feet flattening out and that pulls the Achilles tendon taught...that is what causes the heel pain. She suggested taping my arches up...but what I really did was bought an arch insert and darned if she wasn't right. My heel, although not all the way cured, does feel better.

Still sore though...Jacki and I were talking that maybe it's because Wednesdays are just so busy...you know I go from school straight to church...sometimes with just a short break in between. Phew..it's exhausting!...but not a bad way to spend an evening. It's tiring, they're loud, there's a lot of them...but all the while building relationships with kids and God...Suh-Weet!
