Is it just me, or did September drag? Of course, I spent so much time running back and forth to Lafayette....is it any wonder I don't know if I'm coming or going?

Neck Update: Continuing to improve:)
Ankle/Achilles Tendon: Apparently, when I chose to walk to my CHRP meeting, then walk home from choir practice on 9/12, I strained my achilles tendon area. This area has bothered me off and on throughout the summer, but normally I can walk out the stiffness. Not on the 15th....I limped all over Eminence school during the Harvest Fest. Mom's friend Marian, who's a former sports trainer, told me to do some exercises, which have helped. However, I've discovered the problem MAY be connected to my tennis shoes.....the temps turned cooler, so I wore my riding boots all weekend, with no limping, and a little discomfort. Barefoot doesn't seem to bother it. But my year-old tennies....well, it might mean I need another pair! More on this later.
Books Sold: 17, as compared to last year's 24. But in all fairness, I only sold 4 at EHF, as compared to last year's 9.
