Stuck in Bed

Thursday, I was very excited about getting to be lazy and stay in bed for the whole day.

I picked out one of my favorite books to read.


And as I read and read, my mom brought me stacks of books so I could keep on reading.

 I read for hours - my books, old magazines, everything, until I fell fast asleep in the middle of one.

My kitty woke me up, and I played with her for a little while. 


Then I played computer games.

I played more computer games.

I went shopping online and made a wish list of things I wanted to buy. Some of my favorites were: these awesome "Full of Awesome" shirts.

 The "I <3 Math" shirts - perfect for my 8-year-old cousins!

And this "Forget 'Princess,' Call me 'President'" shirt for me, of course!
Of course, my mom said, "Not now, maybe for back-to-school."
Aaargh! More waiting!


 At lunchtime, I started watching my favorite TV show. (It's sometimes scary, so I can't watch it when my little sister is here!) I watched more and worked on a craft project. It's going to be a sampler like Samantha's, but it has a quote about friends.

And I napped more - straight through dinnertime!

Friday morning started out as more of the same - with me still stuck in bed. I continued watching episode after episode of my favorite show. I think my eyes were starting to get tired from staring at that screen!

I was watching still more TV when I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" I called, expecting that my sister must have gotten home. 
Instead, in stepped my friend Kit, straight from a baseball game in 1934.

Bored!

I'm bored. Bored, Bored, BORED!!!

It's the middle of summer. It's not raining out. School doesn't start for another two weeks. I have a ton of books and toys, I live down the street from a really cool playground (there's a jungle gym shaped like a FISH!), and river with a great path for biking or skating. We have passes to my favorite museums, and I have family and friends to hang out with. So, why am I bored? 

It all started on Wednesday afternoon when I was at the playground. I was running, and I twisted my ankle. I seem to do that a lot lately, so I got up and kept running. Then, I was just walking downstairs, and I twisted my ankle AGAIN! This time, I felt a CRUNCH and went sliding down the stairs. It hurt so much - worse than any other twisted ankle I've ever had!

I rested all afternoon, with ice and everything. But, that night, my ankle still hurt and I couldn't walk. I was pretty scared, so I saw a doctor and got x-rays. The good news is, my foot wasn't broken. The bad news is, my foot has a really bad sprain. The doctor told me to stay off it for the WHOLE WEEKEND, wrapped it up, and sent me home with crutches.

I had to sit in bed ALL DAY Thursday. At first, it was fun. I got to watch tv on my laptop, play games on my laptop, play with my kitties, and do some crafts. It was even fun getting anything I wanted brought to me in bed. But then I was stuck with whatever I could reach from my bed. I couldn't even get a drink of water without help! And people kept forgetting about me... :(

I LOVE being lazy. But, it's no fun not doing ANYTHING!

ONE day being that lazy was ENOUGH for this American Girl. But, I still had 3 days to go! I was so happy when my friend Kit stopped by to visit today. And Kit had a GREAT idea - this blog! I can't WAIT to tell you all about it next time!
