Let's Dance

What to write about this week?  Lots of dumpster fires for sure in this world.  Trying to stay in the eye of the storm and not be in the storm.  It's hard, especially when you care as much as I do about people and others.  

I don't know who this guy is, but this quote came up on my FB feed and it's so true, but also hard to turn off.  Again, I have worked really hard to walk with people through their pain and trials and tribulations, but I am so bad about meshing myself into them and making their problems mine.  

Okay let's talk about good things, because there are still good things happening in this world.  I did get three runs in this week but no working out. I feel like my ribs are healing a little bit each week and while it isn't on the timeline I would for it to be, they are getting a little less sore each week.  I can now cough or sneeze without doubling over in intense pain so there is that.  I really am not going to enjoy starting out back at zero.  

We also had the Superbowl to end the week.  While we wanted a three peat, we got a blow out and if we weren't at a fun party eating amazing food and drinking some amazing homemade drinks, it would have been a really bad night.  Friends make it all better for sure.  

I'll end on this and yes, it's out of order for the week.   Andrew had a combined 8/7th grade dance on Friday, and it was 80s themed.  First, he wanted to go as Professor Brown from Back to the Future which would have been easy with me having access to lab coats and such.  The day before he decided to totally change what he wanted to go as, which put me in a spin because well, I haven't really kept any of my 80s cloths and certainly didn't have anything for an 80s boy.  I pulled out all of my heavy metal shirts I was holding on to and we found one that fit and then I remembered I had a leather jacket that would also fit.  He had a pair of black jeans that he has almost outgrown = tight and I offered to put some holes in them to make them authentic (he decline).  We tried to fit his foot in my chucks but even minus the shoelaces, we just couldn't make that work.  Add in a Wii guitar from guitar hero and you have a rock legend.  Not sure if he is a metal head or a member of the artic monkeys, but off he went and of course he won at bingo (they got a bingo card if they dressed up).  He is such a lover of the 80s and it makes me smile.  

Have a great week y'all!  I'm heading back to Wisconsin for another trip and mom is coming in to help Tony hold down the fort.
