leg of lamb

It's not often Jeff stays past his assigned time at work, as it should be. He is the manager, and being the manager gives him certain rights. Leaving right at five, no Sundays and only closing one night a week.

Tonight, he stayed an extra hour for me. I left at five, he stayed. He knew how important it was to me to see Hannah before she left for homecoming.

I did, and she looked gorgeous. Way too grown up. (Suzi, I am anxiously looking forward to Kelli pics!)

After we dropped her off at the picking up place, Larry & I went to dinner.

It felt a little like the slaughtering of the lambs at first. You did this, I did that. I think he realizes what I have been trying to say. I emphasized again my hurt over the birthday thing. If he had reached out that day, I would probably not have left.

It is a good thing, he will re-see me as someone who is smart, who can handle things and I will hopefully see him standing a little taller behind me.

Now, in all this talking, sitting in the tall chair without my feet up, my foot began to swell again. I had started to notice when we took road trips my foot would swell a little. Then a little more, now it is pretty routine.

Anytime I sit for more than an hour without my feet up, my left foot swells. I looked online but can't find any real answers. I think it may be time for a doctor's appointment. Anyone have any advice on this?

What scares me is on the way home from the evacuation, it was swelling bad. On one of our pit stops I bought some aspirin, and it seemed to get better. Does this mean a blood clot? Bad circulation? Breaking three toes in as many weeks? It also never seems to be warm. Annie/Jan -- help!!

So, after we were talked out, I packed it up and came 'home'. He did reach out, hugged & kissed me. Told me one of these times I come over I need to spend the night. It's possible :)
