Taking Care

I had to start wearing socks.

Although I gave up on the sandals and flip flops a few weeks ago, I have still been wear my ballet flats without socks. As I sat huddled over my space heater yesterday I realized it was time to accept, head to toe, that the cooler weather has arrived.














Without going into great detail, I've been battling a UTI for a few days now. If you've ever had one, you're reading this nodding your head knowingly and sympathetically. If you haven't ever had one, try to keep it that way. My post on Saturday about being cold I think was a combination of cooler temps and the beginning of the UTI. I try to avoid antibiotics if possible so I've been hitting the cranberry extract pretty hard and am starting to feel better. Of course with feeling better comes the mental battle of wanting to do everything I usually do and reminding myself it's okay to take it easy for a few days. After considering that I have to work until 8PM tonight, I made the difficult decision to leave my gym bag at home today. Ultimately, I can't expect others to take care of themselves properly if I'm not willing to do so for myself.

In regards to your beach renourishment picture, I'm sorry to say that most of the sand is gone already. We didn't get any hurricanes but had a few rather wild nor'easters. We lost over 40 turtle nests as well as a lot of sand.

In regards to washed away sand... I guess that will keep Hat Man and his dad and Mooby and his son in business a while longer!

In regards to Hat man and Mooby, the project actually finished early. They ended at 12th Ave instead of 21st because the dredging was finished and there was no more sand. Go figure. I'd like to know where all the sand is because it is not on the beach.
