Hitch in my Giddy-Up

Whenever I eat LOTS of gluten, I have a big problem with my right foot.  It does this weird thing ... one minute it hurts so much I can't put any pressure on it AT ALL and the next minute it's fine.  Sometimes the hurt lasts hours at a time (depending on how many pizza slices - hah).  It feels likes it's broken when it happens.  It usually lasts a day.  I look like I'm faking it.  Can't stand or walk one minute and then can run and jump the next.

Last week (during my power eating), I indulged in regular bread and GOT AWAY WITH IT.  Yesterday, my foot started doing the "thing."  Is it a delayed reaction?  Something different?  I didn't have any gluten all week.  Ugh.  It was hard to hobble around yesterday.  I ended up in bed extra early because it wouldn't let up.  So far today it gave a few twinges, but I think it's okay.

This morning, up early, happy, drinking coffee.  Dogs woke up.  I bent over to say hello to my little guy and messed up my NECK.  It's in spasm to end all spasm.  At first I thought it was a charlie-horse kind of issue, but I think it might be really messed up for today.

Come on, Universe ... I still have one more day of birthday celebration.  Top Golf.  No go if I can't walk or hold my head up.

Also, some minor bumps in the road of my celebration week yesterday too.

Met youngest for lunch at 2:30 -- sushi place was closed for the afternoon (which we remembered before we went).  We tried a couple of new restaurants and only the bar was open.  We ended up at a usual Mexican spot -- not bad, but not what we expected.  It was still a fun lunch -- glad to spend time with one of my favorite people.

AND ... my toe color wasn't available (WHAT?!?!) -- medium gray-blue.  They had multiple bottles of my favorite color in the past, but NONE yesterday.  They think they edited it out of rotation (I'm always out of trend).  Dang.  I like it so much, I'm going to try and find a bottle on Amazon to bring with me.  That said, the pedicure was great -- and my brighter blue is pretty too.

Ziggy is meeting with a family on Sunday.  Fingers crossed.  It sounds like a good match.

I finished a book last night.  The Night Before -- Wendy Walker.  Fast read.  It kept moving and was entertaining enough.  A few twists and a decent ending.  Nothing to blow you away, but if you're looking for an easy summer read, it works.  Not scary, just suspenseful.

Okay, holding my head up is too much -- ugh.  Later gators.
