….do you really have to have a party every weekend, and occasional weekdays?

The folks across the street (the ones who’s dogs I’ve called animal control on twice, dog count is now 3 btw, since, you know, they were controlling their original two ever so well), have had a party pretty much every weekend since the weather turned nice, and are having ANOTHER one today.  I know they have 4 kids but really?

Now if it was a couple cars of people enjoying the grill and playing with the dogs I’d probly not even notice (well, till Apollo alerted to them slamming their car doors anyway).  But no, we’re talking 6 or so cars in the driveway and at least that many parked on the side of the street, street’s not THAT wide, and the stereo cranked so that I can hear the lyrics clearly 100+ feet away inside my house with all my windows closed and my TV on……Why yes, I’m annoyed, how could you tell?

Yesterday afternoon I took the dogs out to the run and opened up the attached shed for shade for them and a place to sit out of the sun for me.  I then stepped back out of the shed (to go get my ipad to read on).  The step down is taller than standard, and I was taking it on the move.  My left food hit the ground and rolled so I hit the ground on the outside of my foot with all my (not inconsiderable) weight. 

I had to stand still for a couple minutes before enough of the pain subsided that I could stand it.  And subsided it did, I could walk on it quickly enough, and it never really did swell up, but this morning the outside of my foot, my ankle, calf and knee all hurt.  And still hurt.  Its more stiff hurt than “tore something” hurt.  But its definetly put a hitch in my walk….
