And done....

Well pins are out.  I had surgery yesterday to remove them.  It was the most amusing time I believe I've had during this entire experience.  I'm so grateful I have a wonderful orthopedic surgeon and yesterday, one of my favorite anesthesiologists took excellent care of me.  It worked out perfectly.  So, at this point, I'm free to return to work and will do so tomorrow.  I'm filled with anxiety because it's been so long since I worked.  You just never know where you stand sometimes and that's where I'm at right now.  I just want to go do my job and go home.  The other nonsense is beyond my capacity to care at this point.  I need a paycheck.

I'm nearly finished with my project and my Masters Degree.  The job hunt has been beyond frustrating.  No one has called me back, not a soul.  Some days I don't even know what I want to do in the future.  I know the answer isn't my current position.  I will keep looking and hoping that someone will give me a chance.  That's all I can do.  I have to focus on getting back into a routine with work, finishing this project and getting back on my bikes.  I'm canceling my gym membership due to various factors.  I will just have to dedicate myself to strengthening my core and arms.  I think I can manage.

I have enjoyed running and will continue to do so.  I actually rode my road bike 26 miles last Saturday - it was pretty sweet - my butt wasn't too happy afterwards and my legs were tired.  I recovered fairly quickly though.  I was going to run today, but my finger is painful at times and I don't feel like aggravating it more especially since I am due at work at 8a tomorrow.  YIKES.  Thanks for all the encouraging notes along the way.  I'll keep you posted.
