I traded cars on Monday. I was driving a Ford Explorer, and I don't need the 4WD feature much anymore, plus it really cuts down on the mileage you get. I now am driving a Suzuki Kizashi, and so far I really like it. I think it's a cute car, too. I can't believe the major room I now have in the garage, which used to have both the Explorer and the Lincoln TownCar in it, as well as everything else one usually finds in a garage, and then some.
The bad news is that Tuesday evening I sprained my ankle. I was carrying some things from my Mom's house downstairs here, and I missed the last step and fell onto the landing, right on my foot/ankle. I've never actually sprained anything before, and I don't think this is as bad as what I've heard described by others, so I'm hoping it will heal quickly. I've been doing the ice/rest/elevation thing, and along with an Ace bandage wrapped around it, it seems to be improving. The swelling is moving down toward my toes now a bit, and the actual ankle and above looks perfectly normal. Just when the gardening season is beginning to really heat up, here I am, hobbling around. Oh well, at least it's not permanent.
I am hosting the Mu Phi's Tuesday night (my music fraternity) but luckily I don't have to make the dessert. My brother's going to come over and get the folding chairs out of the basement for me, and I think I can do everything else, albeit slowly.
I'm doing a program for the Omaha chapter of ASG on the 20th, and I had a lot of plans that I was working on for that which may have to be slightly modified, but it should be a very nice evening anyway. They've asked me to speak about Wardrobing/Sewing with a Plan, and to show some of my covered shoes as well.

Oh, I'm sorry about the ankle sprain and hope that you are up and about and feeling better soon.
Sorry to hear about your ankle sprain. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful evening anyway. Thank goodness for brothers (sometimes...)
Feel better. The car is really cute.
'Don't think a "mere sprain"'s gonna stop ya!! Irritating, aggrevating, yes... But, look at all the interesting projects you have ahead!! Wish I could attend your events--to help out AND to learn/listen ;)
Get well soon ;)
Soft hug,

Hope you feel better soon....
Sending Get well soon wishes and your new car is so cute. I love small cars.
Sorry about your injury. Hope you heal quickly.
Take care of yourself.
I did the same thing about a year ago, and like you had never sprained anything before. Hope you are back to normal soon! Nice car!
I hope you're feeling better soon. I've had a sprained ankle and it can be annoying, especially when you need to be out and about!
Ouch! Hope you are up and running around in no time. Cute car too.
