This Is A Flurry!

I swear, this is a flurry of postings. Really though, I've had a little setback.

A couple weeks ago at work, there was a 'Fitness Challenge.' OK, it was just an excuse for people to be outside and play silly games. We formed teams of four and stepped up to the challenges presented. Challenge 1 - tug of war which we rocked. Challenge 2 - obstacle course which we also rocked except for the minor injury that resulted. Challenge 3 - relay race, nothing like four grown-ups inside a hula hoop running from one end of our gym to the other. Challenge 4 - human bowling, yep, yours truly stepped inside a steel cage ball and strapped herself to a chair so my teammates could roll me down the inflatable bowling lane.

Back to Challenge 2. After running the tires, jumping blocks, weaving in and out of cones, jumping over hurdles, the last section of the obstacle course was a stylish dive onto a slip'n'slide. Except for the point when my hand stopped at the end yet my body kept going. I appeared to have a jammed finger but after two days it didn't look or feel any better so off to urgent care I went on Sunday.

M happened to have some nasty looking bug bites after a picnic at a lake on Saturday, so I thought it would be a good idea for us to both go. I left with instructions to buy Benadryl for M's allergic reaction to whatever bit her and an x-ray, a splint, and a referral to a hand surgeon for my broken finger. I now have a cast on one finger for the next 8 weeks so the joint I broke can fuse back together. The finger I broke happens to be on my right hand which makes writing, typing, and just about anything else involving that side of my hand painful.

So typing, not on top of my list right now.
