A Life Less Overweight

Hehehe. Ok, get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about my sneakers and my foot. On Sunday, I wore them all day, and then at the end of the day the ball of my left foot hurt terribly. So sore, I couldn’t even put pressure on it. I tried massaging it, that made it worse. I wore flats to school yesterday and today, and magically today it started to feel better. So much so I was able to run on it today at the gym. I have no idea what was up, but it seems to be ok now. It feels a little precarious, like it could hurt again at any time, but I wasn’t about to skip my gym session since I haven’t been in like two weeks. Which, considering, I did well, ran intervals for 25 mins. And had a partial conversation through 5 mins of it. But, now my left big toe hurts at the very tip, it’s raw, and I think it’s ultimately because these damn sneakers are just too small. Next paycheck, it’s time for some new kicks.

In other news, we just found out my sister in law is pregnant with their second child. My favorite thing about this blog is I can say things I’d never say out loud, so here goes-but don’t judge me, even though this is gonna sound awful. They have a two year old with all sorts of health and developmental issues. She’s constantly complaining about how she has to do all the work, how my brother in law D. doesn’t help (that’s actually true), and how sick L. is all the time. Ok, so good idea, let’s add another dependent to the mix. Between D. who is in a commission based field, L., a full time job, and money woes, it seems to me like this is the wrong time to add to the family. And it was planned. To the point where when I asked her 6 months ago when they would like to have another, she was like, “I’ll be pregnant in September.” Boy, did she have it her way. But when we asked him, he was like, not for a while, maybe another year or two. Nice conversation guys. So now, my mother in law, whom I really like a lot, will spend even MORE time there. She lives like 4 hours from them, but considering, makes a few treks out there every few months. In the two years we have owned our place, she has come twice, Thanksgivings. That’s once  a year people. WTF??? And we have offered on multiple occasions to have her up, take her to all the fantastic museums around here (which she loves), even take her to Fenway. But no. Doesn’t happen. All I have to say is her ass better make it up here when WE have kids. So, now I am done shitting on other people’s joyous occasions. Anyone have a wedding they need me to squash?? Geez, I’m a bitch.
