Interesting Day

Today is proving to be an interesting day. Favorite Husband started his new job today. He asked me if I'd go start his car for him as I was leaving to take the kids to school. I went to start it and it-- wouldn't-- start. For about half a second when I turned it on, the car did the usual car things-- the automatic seatbelts moved, etc.-- and then just nothing. No starter cranking over, nothing. I quickly rushed to get the kids to school; I had just enough time to get them there, come back home, and pick him up in time to start his new job. But when I got home he and his car were gone, so he must have figured out a way to get it started.

I did a private show today at my mom's elementary school. I did it mostly because my mom was nice enough to set up the appointment and make all the arrangements, and I didn't have very high expectations. The show went very well, though, and was well worth my trip. I sold nearly a hundred dollars' worth of merchandise. Many thanks to my mom for arranging this!

I've done all this running around today with an aching foot. Last Monday I fell and twisted my foot running after a recalcitrant Sonshine. I felt something go "snap"-- not like it was breaking, more like something "clicked"-- and it's been hurting ever since. It had gotten a bit better, but today it really hurt, and then I had to run around on it, taking loads of merchandise from car to school and back again, opening car doors, wandering about the library, etc. etc. If I know what's good for me, I'll stay off of it. We are supposed to get our Christmas tree today, so I may have to send F.H. with the older kids to buy it and bring it home while I rest my poor foot.
