My foot would like to update you...

Message from my right foot:

I am doing a lot better! I had a close call the other day though while barefoot so I will have to go back to napping, stretching, and wearing these really comfy shoes called Vibram Five Fingers. My owner also has been kind enough to occasionally ice me and rub me down. But sometimes she puts this weird thing on me at night called The Sock. Sometimes it digs into my friend, the calf, so she usually takes it off in the middle of the night. Lastly, she sometimes rolls a golf ball on me while standing up. This feels like it's ironing out the wrinkles on me. And I like that.

Alright, alright. Thank you foot for the update. So, as you can see, the time off from activity has been beneficial. So far, this summer has been going well, too. I am not in any classes but have been spending my time working on a manuscript for a contemporary fiction novel, which means most of my time is spent at a desk, not only exercising my mind but also allowing my foot to heal. I would like to thank my supportive boyfriend for helping make this "internship with myself" possible. I am able to experience the life of a writer and so far, I am loving it (meager pay, blank screens and all)! Other exciting news is that I will be going back to my high school this coming fall to be an assistant cross country coach. I am looking forward to this opportunity as it is something I've always wanted to do. I just didn't think it would be happening this soon. The team has some promising talent and still has Coach Gorby leading the way.

That's it for the updates. This warmer weather is teasing my foot but we'll be back out there soon enough!
