Day Off

Yesterday and today was pretty good. I left work a little early to soak my foot but the later in the day it got, the more the pain went away. That's the exact reason I didn't make an doctor's appointment, because when I actually made it in to see the doc, the pain would be there no longer. If I had a doctor where I can call and he sees me that day or early the next, I would've gone then. When I got home from work, I soaked my foot for about an hour, by the time it was 6pm, I could walk on it but still had to babysit it a little.

My girlfriends family had the cookout I go to faithfully every July since I met her about 4 years ago. The party was poppin' as usual, all her family and their close friends and some not so close (smile). There was a DJ spinnin' and someone on the grill constantly. Towards the end of the night, I got up out my chair and hit the dance floor, though I was a little skeptical about my foot injury coming back, I had on some gym shoes so I figured i'd give it a try. If I would've felt any sense of re-injury I would've sat down, but I didn't. I didn't dance hard, just a little bop and two step. I left there at about midnight and headed home to get some shuteye.....good times indeed

Today I met a friend of mine at a small family gathering at a recreation center in Glenarden. It was a really nice water park, if I didn't have these braids in my hair and the water would've been warmer or it hotter outside, I may have gotten in the water. I wasn't there to long, maybe an hour or so, I stopped by because I was asked and the company by the askee was very nice the prior night. Plus, I was being inquired about so I felt it necessary to stop by. There was some really good food at this cookout too. "Alley's" sister made some sweet potatoes with this topping that was outta this world! I loved it.....sweet with pecans, can't get to much better than that for a topping on sweet potatoes.

I was supposed to go back out with my bff Swell but never made it. When it started raining, he already knew what was up and called me on it. He said when it started to rain, he knew he wasn't seeing me today, I had to laugh and think to myself I guess that's what 18 years of knowing someone will do.

All in all, it was a nice day off and i'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm supposed to have company in town, but we'll see. I'm off to bed so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed for work in the morning, until next time folks!
