Staples, rain, & visitors

[angledge]

Not much to report. Mom got her staples out today - I watch the physical therapist take them out & guess what? The tool he used looked just like a regular staple remover (the flat kind, not the Jaws of Life looking kind).

I didn't swim today; instead, I did a beginner's Pilates class. This was my first Pilates experience. I really enjoyed the workout, which was challenging but not spirit-breaking. I think this form of exercise will both strengthen my swimming & help me out with some occasional back problems. We're supposed to get a break in the weather this weekend. I think I'm going to go hiking & leave the little Lucy woman at home for a while. I've been getting a lot of exercise while I've been down here - if only I wasn't eating all the cakes & pies & cookies that well-wishers keep bringing for my mom, I'd probably be losing quite a bit of weight.

And STACY is coming to visit next weekend!! The brave grrl. This will be the first time I've brought a girlfriend home to meet the parents. Very exciting. She's taking Amtrak to Greenville, where I will have to pick her up at 5:30 AM. Yay. I don't care.

Good luck with the Stacy thing! She's pretty likable, I'm sure it will go fine (but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you anyhow).

I found it somewhat disturbing when they were using what looked like a standard staple claw to remove all my staples. Stingy, too.

"She's taking Amtrak to Greenville"

Somehow I read this in the naughtiest way possible.
