Emmy Checklist

1. New Dress
2. Shoes Am wearing some lower more stable heels that I already had. Had to shelve my favorite red shoes for now.
3. Appropriate Undergarments (tried on some Spanx at Nordstrom's the other day and I must say it was 10x worse than being soaking wet and putting on dry bike shorts or a bathing suit or wet suit. Thank god the fitting room was empty because I'm sure people would have been raising their eyebrows to the ceiling with the grunts coming from my fitting room. The Spanx were ok, but really just accentuated my back fat, so I'll stick with sucking my gut in by myself.)
4. Camera (although I'm working out how I can get a picture of us on the red carpet, if we are permitted to tread upon it. No cameras allowed in the theater, so we'll see.)

Now I just have to throw it all in a suitcase and I'm off!!!

Oh, I went to see an EXCELLENT PT yesterday. She was very thorough and diagnosed me with a severe muscle strain in my lower back (Quadratus Lumborum, to be specific). Pinpointed it perfectly. The ortho doc was good for the drugs, but the PT was way more helpful and knowledgeable about how to get me back to where I was. Every day is getting better, and I'm back to taking care of Nora by myself. I'm sore and tired at the end of the day, but definitely on the mend.
