Broken or Sprained?

We had a great day out on the boat today with friends. We were on the water from 9:00 until 4:00. We skied, we tubed, we swam, we had a picnic lunch on the beach, it was truly a great day. Jake went in the tube by himself for the first time and was going to try to get up on skis but the lake had just gotten too crazy with boats and I couldn't keep us close enough to shore without hitting something long enough to feel safe about trying to get him up. We promised him next time (he was really disappointed). Our friends kids also tried to get up on skis and their Dad tried his hand at wakeboading (he did better than I have so far, so that was good). All in all it was a great day.

The kids fell asleep instantly, by the time we had gotten the boat out of the water and had driven back to the highway they were all out and slept most of the way back home. Even now sitting here typing, I still feel waves so I am anticipating some deep sleeping in the Alan household tonight (and my God do we need it).

Oh, yeah, so the picture of my foot.....the only downside....I, being perpetually 12, ran down the dock and dove off of the end, but I planted a little bit hard and the last plank in the dock broke in half. I can't tell whether anything is broken or just bruised....luckily I have my yearly checkup tomorrow and when the Dr. asks me if there's anything else, this is gonna come up. I can walk on it just fine, so I'm thinking it's just bruised, plus they don't really do anything for broken toes anyway, so it is what it is to a certain extent.

As Jimmy Buffett would say, "I'm growing older but not up!".
