Hope that everyone had a good Independence Day weekend. Mine was great… Tiring, but really good.

My boyfriend and I both had Friday off work in honor of the 4th, so we slept in and then drove to his hometown to see his family. Had lunch with his grandmother, and made dinner that night for his parents (they’re so impressed with me for teaching him how to cook - lol). Saturday we all headed to their place on the lake for 4th of July festivities: boating, Frisbee, swimming, grilling, drinking, fireworks… The whole deal. It was a lot of fun. Got to hang out with friends and family (there were about 35 of us there at one point) and generally enjoy the day.

Sunday we got up before most everyone else (we were the two sober ones at the party) and took the boat out for a while, which was awesome… Except that I managed to step on something and cut the heck out of my foot. I didn’t really notice when it happened…just that I was bleeding all over the floor of the boat. Oops! Anyway, it’s not awful, but it’s just in a bad spot - right on the ball of my foot, so basically every step I take irritates it. After we got home Sunday afternoon I cleaned it really well and I’ve got it bandaged up… It just sucks because it definitely kept me out of the gym yesterday (don’t think I need any “impact” on it quite yet) and probably will again today. I’m torn between wanting to try it, and wanting to be super-safe about it so I know it’s healed enough for me to start my yoga class next week. Sigh.

Anyway, food wound aside, a great weekend, and this week is off to a decent start. Hope everyone is doing well and having a good one!
