Today my ankle was feeling a
little bit better. It mostly just feels stiff and I think the nerves and
muscles around my ankle are just very tender, so I should be fine by hopefully tomorrow.
Today was just a typical day of work for me. But today during my break, I showed
my bike who’s boss. I was daring enough to go down to the store and get WAY too
much unneeded food (like cookies… oops) and I had to fill my back pack, a
plastic bag, and have a bag of toilet paper. So both handle bars had something
hanging off it and my bag was heavy… and there were no problems! I rode that
bike like a champ! Didn’t wobble or struggle at all! Ha! It thought it beat me
with that fall! Also I came home and once again rested instead of worked out
(it killed me to make that decision!) and it honestly made such a world of
difference. I am walking almost normally again and the pain is pretty minor. I
still sat all day at the center so that hopefully tomorrow I will be full on up
and running.
Today I was in charge of wheels
on Wednesdays where the kids can bring the bikes, scooters, or roller blades
and ride around the elementary school black top next to the center. We set up
coned lanes, stop signs, yield signs, and pedestrian crossing areas and the
kids all have to follow the traffic laws. I had to evaluate them today so that
next week we can hopefully take the ones that passed evaluation around Askren
(the installation where the center is) instead of just biking around the black
top. I also was getting a lot of guff about not playing TNT again yet or
singing the pizza song. I normally make them sing the pizza song in order to go
to snack but the last two days I have had to leave large group activity before
they are ready for the song. It makes me feel really good that they get pumped
about those things! Also this one kid who looked me straight in the eye and
told me he wasn’t going to listen to me or ever like me has been so amazing
this week. He has wanted to help me out, he was constantly asking about my
ankle today, he was asking for me to teach new songs, and he has had such a
positive attitude around me.
Over all it was a good day.
Tonight I still don’t plan on doing much because I want to rest up my foot for
the weekend. I am actually getting really close to being done with a lot of the
parts of my homework (that I can get done now) so that I can stop worrying
about it in the future.
