L is for long train ride to Seattle

This past weekend I rode the train for 6 hours to visit my friend Susie for the weekend. I do not remember the last time I had 6 hours to myself - other than when I sleep, but that is usually interrupted by one child or another. I was surprised at how fast the 6 hours went. I read a book, worked on a sudoku puzzle and made a trip to the snack car. I am now tempted to take my boys on a train ride, maybe a shorter test trip first. I have a feeling those train rides will seem long.

My ankle is still healing and I am getting frustrated at the slow pace and still feel a constant burn. I saw my doctor last week and he was not surprised that it was taking this long - he said it would take much longer for someone in there 60's - Thank God I am still a young 40! He does not need to see me for 6 more weeks - it is strange to not have appointments every day, week, month. Of course it has been a year since my last mammogram and must keep tabs on that, but I will let that slide for now and just enjoy each day!
