I decided to wait for a couple weeks after I got the bandages off to take this picture. Mostly this is so Mom wouldn't be too grossed out. It's really not that bad. And I have physical therapy twice a week and do everything she tells me to. 
Here's my assortmenet of tools I get to work with every day. I think the people at my office are getting used to this. Looks like fun, doesn't it?------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news: last weekend Smokey and I went to see friends from the island who now live less than two hours from us. And there was an avalanche and the ash finally hit Anchorage. Perhaps we should never leave town? We had a glorious time helping take merchandise to the new quilt shop she is opening and Smokey went ice fishing and was almost eaten by....a Rotti. Luckily he fed it some bait and it let him live. Upon our return to our lovely little apartment we discovered that it smelled like ash, but all the ash had been blown away outside.

I took three of my four pets to the vet in the last two weeks. Last Friday I went for a run after work and Percy peed every 50 feet. We delayed our departure so I could get her into the vet for some anibiotics. Everyone is fine now. Note: if your hand is in a brace because you broke your finger and your boyfriend will be out of town, do not schedule your pets for vet visits, even if their shots are due.

I trained with Tatonka on Tuesday. I went prepared to take pictures for you all. Alas, I was thwarted. A fellow search trainer and I were witness to a couple drunk girls fishtailing through the parking lot and nearly mowing down a family of four and a father and son. Luckily they only hit a parked car, the one next to us. We got the plate and she called it in and they caught them. Yay, justice! Sometimes the system does work. Then we got to talk to the nice officers, one of whom lives down the street from me. We did get to work our dogs, but hers reopened a wound and will be taking a short break from training. Bummer, I like training with her.

It's alternating snowing and melting outside. This morning I had to take Smokey's truck since mine was frozen to my parking spot. No, I'm not kidding. I refuse to go run in a gym. I will be able to swim and maybe bike in 1.5 weeks. That leaves me about 6 weeks to get up to speed for a triathlon I just registered for. Between the weather and the hand I'm about climbing the walls....except that I won't be able to climb for a year.
