We're getting ready to head to Indiana to pick up our furniture. Not that we've minded living out of boxes and not knowing where anything is, but our place has felt less settled than a college apartment since we got here.
Today was a day of preparation to leave as I was going to drive to Sheldon, IA to meet my folks and drop off Maia. Last night at the park, our plans changed a bit when Amy and the kids were at the park. Amy was going down a bumpy slide with Maia in her lap when Maia's right foot caught behind her and she hurt her ankle. Amy called me at work and said she wasn't sure if it was broken or sprained. After conferring with her mom, Amy decided to let Maia sleep it off and reevaluate our options in the morning.
This morning we decided we'd best be cautious and have her checked out rather than just pass her off to Grandma and Grandpa not knowing what her status was. We took her to the doctor where they did x-rays and confirmed that it is only a sprain. She'll be tender on it for several days and needs to have it iced a bit, which is a near impossibility with a 16 month old. We worked it out with my folks to meet in Rock Rapids, IA this afternoon to send her with them while still giving me time to get back for work at 3:30.
Tomorrow we pack, return a few used furniture items, exchange cars in Yankton and after I get off work at midnight we will begin the overnight drive to Marion, hopefully arriving in time to pick up our rental truck before the office closes.
At least I'll get a few days off from work.
