I know I'm going to sound like a whiner to a lot of people, but it is really hard to convalesce in a vacation destination...especially one where most of the fun revolves around sand and water...and you are in a wheelchair with a non-weight-bearing cast. We are so ready to go home.
Jake is so bored, he actually asked to do school work today. Well, "asked" is too strong of a word...more like, he was whining about how difficult it was to just lay there in his room, and I passive-aggressively suggested school work. Kind of like when you tell your mom you're bored at home and she rattles off a list consisting of folding laundry, scrubbing toilets, etc., to help you rethink your boredom. (Yes, I brought along his school books...no, we haven't actually used them. What a waste of weight limit.) Anyway, he surprised me by responding positively to the suggestion. With all of the stress we've been going through, cracking open the spelling curriculum sounded less desirable than plucking out my own eyeballs...so I suggested Toys R Mine instead.
Jake wanted to check out the Nerf selection first...
But with no siblings or pets* for target practice, ultimately decided on something with more play value for our current circumstances.
As an added bonus, we stopped by Chili's for Molten Chocolate Peanut Butter Cakes for dinner. OK, maybe convalescing here isn't so bad after all.
*You know I'm kidding about the cat, right?
