Procrastination and conflict avoidance runs in the family

I've had a pain in my foot and ankle for a couple weeks.  It started as a pain in my arch on my right foot, which I attributed to plantar faciits, however, I didn't do anything about it.  But it has moved, it was on the outside of my ankle and has now settled to the inside of my ankle.  I also have noticed that I have a little bit of swelling on the inside of my ankle.  I've been sorta ignoring it (I know, super unhealthy to do), but I'm at day 642 of my runstreak.  Two years is just around the corner, only 89 days left to go, and I really want to get there.  I'm afraid if I go to a dr. they will tell me I have to stop running for awhile, which is probably a good idea, but 89 days!  

It bothers me most at the beginning of my run, and then I get in the groove and forget about it until I get home.  I've been taking ibuprofen and have been rubbing CBD oil on it (that really seems to help) that I got for my arthritic hip (that sounds like I'm ancient).  I should start icing it regularly.  I've done it some, but not very often.  I haven't been doing any crazy distances.  My longest runs have been 6 miles lately, but most of them are 3 miles.  

Shut up and Run posted (for the first time since December, I've missed her) about some ankle pain she had recently and she self-diagnosed herself with peroneal tendonitis.  I read a little (very little) about it and it said that it can be more common in people who sprained their ankle and didn't let it heal properly.  Guess who sprained her right ankle and was in denial about it a few years ago?  

We are supposed to go back to the Lake next week.  This is our normally scheduled trip, the last 2 trips there this summer were sort of spur of the moment.  But the house isn't done.  Remember I told you that they are renovating (really just fixing the leak that happened, but having to replace almost everything downstairs because it's so old you can't find the stuff needed to make it look the same).  Well, they have been very lackadaisical about working on the house.  

My dad hired them in February.  Everything shut down in March, but then reopened (well construction did) in May.  Their original deadline was July 4th.  I don't think they were even in the house before July 4th.  We were there at the beginning of June and again two weeks ago (I just realized I didn't post about that). 

*back in time* 

We went to the Lake again in July.  We were supposed to go camping, but the campground only opened at 50% capacity and because we were in campsite 13 and 12 and 14 were open, 13 was not.  We had already asked for the time off, so we went to the Lake again for 4 days.  It was a really nice trip.  

When we got there, they had put sheetrock up, and there was a guy doing the mudding.  But it was the first round of mudding, and he didn't come back while we were there.  I walked away on Monday knowing the house wouldn't be done in time for our August trip. 

*Back to the future*

I talked to my Dad yesterday, who was there last Thursday and he said they look to be done with the mudding, and ready to paint, but nothing else has been done.  He had given them a second deadline of August 1st, but obviously they didn't make it.  He's pretty unhappy with them, but is such a conflict avoider that he doesn't do anything about it.  They are supposed to replace all of the downstairs floor, completely redo one bathroom (the one with the leak) and replace a shower stall in the small (only usable) bathroom.  It's not going to be done by this Saturday.  😌

I don't know if we'll be able to go.  Chris and I are pretty sure we want to, but if they tear out the small bathroom shower, and don't immediately replace it, we won't have anywhere to use the toilet.  I'm pretty frustrated by it, and at my Dad too.  If he was more forceful it would be done by now. 

As it is, Damian definitely can't come with Asher because there is no flooring, just plywood.  A 10 month old on plywood is not good.
