Chrissy,

Once Bob leaves, I'm totally on my own again, so yes, I will need to drive. Can

I drive a

stick, well gee, sure, how could I have forgotten about that? It's only been

the last 8 years

that I've driven an automatic transmission, now that I think about it!!!

Duhhhh! I learned

on a stick, and always had one, usually VW's or Hondas. My favorite was the

little '60 MG

convertible that my FIL gave me. I didn't have automatic transmission until I

got my first

Jeep GJ. in '96 How could I have forgotten....except that there are still times

that I reach

down to shift in the Jeep when coming to a sudden stop, as though

down-shifting! Well,

then I don't suppose the two footed driving will bother me at all as long as I

don't try to

find a clutch...lol!

No real baths until the stitches are taken out a week from Wednesday, but the

tub set up

that I've got going in 's tub has worked out well, I just still have to

use the kitchen

sink to wash my hair.

Today was the first time I'd been out of the house in four days, but it felt

like four weeks.

It was so nice to be outside with the sun on my face for a few minutes, but I

found that

just my brief outing to go to the doctors and the small amount of walking that

required

WAS enough to keep me off my feet for the rest of the afternoon. The doctor

said that as

soon as the foot hurt, to immediately get off it and elevate it, otherwise I'll

do damage to

where they put the screws in the bone. So I was a good patient and came home

and put it

up again. It's going to be some time before we can go on that trek through the

outlet

malls looking for those sandals, Chrissy.

Maybe someone here in the group could help you with that resume. I'm sure that

one of

our girls has had experience with that...perhaps not with a nursing background,

but

enough of the other material that you could use as a basis for the background

for yours.

Maybe someone will chirp up and offer some help with it. I haven't had to do

one for over

15 years or more, so I know I couldn't be of any help.

Wish we'd known about that restaurant in BOWFORT when we took Austin up through

the

OBX two summers ago! We spent the night there, and the place we ate was the

pits, but

the town itself was delightful.

Well, off to bed, my tootsies are tired tonight!

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
