I was just looking at my personal email this morning, and see a new binder email from our insurance company. We apparently purchased a new vehicle last night.....

New intake for the mustang. The EFI project is tedious but I'm getting close.

One of my keys to a happy marriage is letting my DW buy any car that she wants...as long as I don't have to pay for it. I know that she was going out to test-drive something after work yesterday, and saw the updated insurance emails this morning. Since she apparently wants to do a big reveal for her choice, I didn't look at the emails so that I can be surprised when she brings it home most likely after work today.

When I was leaving home for work (after her) this morning, I told OCD psycho dog that he better enjoy his remaining bag of premium dog food because it'll probably be store-brand from now on if she bought something expensive.....

I have a shower bench just like that but I don’t trust it to sit on. I only put my feet on it when I’m standing to wash my feet.

But, doggie.

I’m going to need to trust it to keep weight off my foot temporarily.

Well, all I can say is be careful. And let us know how it goes. It just doesn’t seem that sturdy to me.

Tear in plantar fascia. Had plantar fasciitis, got a shot, did a bunch of stretches and then walked a lot more than I should have (all three of which probably contributed to the tear). This goes back to Memorial Day-ish. Podiatrist thought swelling in foot was due to a vein deficiency. Took forever to get appt with vascular doctor around travel schedule. Not vascular-related (which is good). Back to podiatrist. Finally got MRI, which identified the tear.

It's only been 2 days since I got the boot and swelling is already significantly less, so hopeful this isn't more than a month or so of wearing it.

Sorry to hear that. Glad it’s getting better.

I have sinus tarsi syndrome which is made better by a nice pair of custom orthotics.
