I'll just be over here practicing my Rockette kick.


Or, you know, lying flat with my right leg hiked in the air on some pillows in an attempt to reduce the baseball sized swelling on my sprained ankle.

I played twisty foot in the sand Sunday afternoon and then stood on it most of the day Monday.  I probably would have spent more time sitting down but the cherry red sunburn on my back and a portion of my behind made it a very not so good idea.

I bet you're glad I'm not showing you a picture of that.

We buried Christian yesterday.  (obituary)
I am taking today to do nothing.
I'll get back on the horse tomorrow.

    I am so sorry for your loss, Miss Juli. I hope that your family will find comfort in knowing that so many people were raining down prayers for little Christian. God must have needed another angel up there to watch over us all. Know that I am sending you hugs from across the miles.
    Find your 'something good' in all of this.
    Enjoy the day.

    I am so sorry for you. Please know that I am still saying a few prayers each day. I hope it gets easier.

    Now, be good to you and your ankle and your sunburn.

    I'm glad you're finding reason to smile despite the pain and sorrow, Sweet Juls. BTW, I received one of your beads as a focal from my Bead Soup partner, Mary K McGraw - awesomeness!

    Sounds like you have pain within and without right now. So sorry to hear about Christian, especially. They did everything they could, medically, plus hope and prayers. As my mother used to say, "Sometimes you just don't have anything to work with." Open up to all the support from your blogger buddies, a very strong group out there, always rising to the need. And remember to put some ice on your burned areas too, my dear! I'll be back, I want to talk beady.

    Oh sweetie, please pass along our prayers. Make sure you all take the time to grieve your loss. He is perfect and happy and healthy now, but that doesn't take away from the grief.
    Go get some blue aloe gel for the sunburn. It really helped mine a few weeks ago. Got lidocaine in it. Sending you serious hugs.

    P.S. I'm really glad you didn't sprain a wrist... that would be disastrous to Julsbeads! :o) Silver lining!
