austin gets his license

austin is out there somewhere driving my car by himself. he finally got his license.

i am here typing away, hoping that things go well, and trying to not worry. i am not really worried i don't think. i guess i am just thinking about this being another new phase in life. he is now independent in a whole new way.

we also went to the ortho foot doctor today (dr. bowman) who more or less said that the ortho boot diagnosis was much ado about nothing. he put austin back into his shoe, said to stay off of it for another week, and then proceed as necessary. i am going to make austin an appt. with gary lavelle for 2 weeks from now and i guess we will go back to basketball. i am still a little nervous about the basketball, but then again, i guess it doesn't matter now. he can get hurt doing just about anything. i didn't used to worry about it then, but now it really seems to be important. any injury can be the difference b/w paying for college or not.

i was down with another migraine for pretty much the whole weekend. i fought it most of saturday, but by saturday night, i was done. spent the day in the bed yesterday and it didn't break until about 2 a.m. this morning. i was pretty wiped out and stayed home today.
