Oh, what a difference a week makes. The nice milder weather has retreated and in its place it frigid air. It is current 26*F with about 20 mph sustained winds and 40+mph gusts. It is down right COLD! I have discovered that there is a least one thing I like about the super frigid weather, the ground is FROZEN. Why is that important? Because this means that the mud pit of our yard is frozen and that when the dog goes out to make her rounds 1.) she is quick because it is so cold and MOST importantly 2.) her feet DO NOT get muddy! We are SO sick of washing her feet every time she comes in. I think she purposely picks the muddiest areas to tromp through. However, the below freezing weather means the snow on the deck and other non sun facing sides is still there and we have to deal with frozen chicken waterers being changed out periodically through out the day. I think we decided we prefer doing the chicken waters, but that is only because we have spent the past two weeks cleaning the dog's paws several times a day.

T was feeling well enough to play in both his basketball games this week. They played the last placed team first and won 22-14. They played the undefeated 1st team right afterwards. I am talking only about a 10 minute break from hard playing. They pushed through their tiredness and won! 13-12! they made a basket in the last 15 seconds. It was a fantastic game! His team is now tied for first place, with this team being the only team we have lost to. We will probably play against them again in the championship in a few weeks.
I have been dealing with some hip pain lately. The past couple of years I have noticed my right hip hurts if I walk too much (think out all day walking around) or jog. I went on a brisk walk during T's practice the other day and for some reason now the pain in my hip has radiated down the side of my leg to my outer thigh. It is extremely painful to walk and has kept me from being able to sleep. I finally had some decent sleep last night for the first time in 3 days. I think that since I found a Mobic and was soooo tired I pretty much just passed out. Unfortunately, thanks to the weekend and holiday I can't go to the doctor until Tuesday. I have been doing some stretching, icing the area, and taking an anti inflammatory. They help a little, but it still hurts. We all know that I view idleness as a fate worse than death so it is really hard to just sit here. Luckily, the intense pain when moving makes it a little easier this time. I will keep you posted on what happens after I visit with the doctor. I also went to the ear doctor this week and everything looks good. Both tubes are still in and functioning and I have had no more ear issues for the past 6 months. It has been wonderful.
