  It's a little strange to be faced with a weekend that has no plans. nbsp;  There is potential for plans. nbsp;
 Nothing is certain though.  I'm still walking funny with this hip situation going on.
nbsp;
 I did manage to get a little cleaning done at the house last night.
nbsp;
 Actually made it to the mailbox on back,  so life is good.
nbsp;
 : o)
nbsp; nbsp;
 It's still pretty uncomfotable.
nbsp; nbsp;
 I'm hoping the heel lifts I ordered will get here soon.
nbsp;
 And I'm still trying stretches,  though this isn't a pain a stretch is going to help.  And while I'm on that subject. why do medical professionals regard patients as imbeciles?
nbsp; nbsp;
 I'm not stupid.
nbsp;
 I have an incredible capacity for learning.
nbsp; nbsp;
 So my xrays&
nbsp;
 looked great.
nbsp;
 No problems there.
nbsp;
 There is still obviously a problem with my hip.
nbsp;
 Okay so maybe something is torn or strained or twisted or something.
nbsp;
 Talk to me about it.
nbsp;
 Educate me.
nbsp;
 Enable me to help myself.
nbsp;
 Don't just stand there and say " well the xray was fine"  and offer nothing else.
nbsp;
 If you don't know what could be causing the pain,  then say so.
nbsp; nbsp;
 I'm one of those people that like to take part in fixing what ails me.
nbsp;
 So emotional,  spiritual,  physical,  or mental,  I want a hand in correcting what's not right.
nbsp;
 I'm a participant in my life!
nbsp; nbsp;
 Getting no answers or guidance from someone I look to for both is frustrating for me.
nbsp;
 And tends to lead me out to the internet,  which can be a scary thing!
nbsp;
 : o)
 Okay so off of that soap box and on to another one.
nbsp;
 Do people have any idea the impact they have when they exclude?
nbsp;
 Specifically,  when I hear people making lunch plans and inviting everyone around me and NOT inviting me,
 what message are they sending?
nbsp;
 Is it intentional?
nbsp; nbsp;
 Are they just not thinking?
nbsp;
 Are they making an assumption?
nbsp;
 Keep in mind that these people are my co- workers and we have gone to lunch before.
nbsp;
 Often.
nbsp;
 We get along just fine.
nbsp;
 So what is the deal today?
nbsp; nbsp;
 I can tell you,  being excluded does not support that whole team feeling.  Now for a lighter topic.
consider me crazy ( many people do) I really want to see the movie Harold &  Kumar Go To White Castle.
nbsp;
 It seems like a really stupid funny,  just for laughs kind of experience.
nbsp; nbsp;
 Maybe I can catch it next weekend.  As for this weekend,  with no exercising currently on the agenda,  I'm not sure what I'll end up doing.
nbsp;
 I picked up Messenger by Lois Lowry at the library yesteday,
 and still have Mort by Terry Pratchett that I borrowed from my friend Scott.
nbsp;
 If the sun cooperates,  it could be a reading while laying out in my pool weekend.  Now I'm going to go home and hang out with the cats for lunch.
nbsp;
 Here's to a Fantastic Friday for everyone!
