I’ve been errant again. I have a really good story for you though ; )
Last Tuesday, I met a friend for breakfast on her birthday. Boy, did we have a fun time! So much so, that we decided to go shopping at Walmart and Costco afterward.
After parking and rounding the end of my car… I found myself on the ground within two seconds. I was felled by the broken end of a glass bottle (so like, the butt end of a wine bottle), which my shoe hit just the right way to roll my ankle — and down I went.
I didn’t realize until two days later that this is what I look like:
not me, really, but you get the picture…. pun intended….
I have a cracked bottom rib with enough soft tissue damage to cause serious pain. My diagnosis… 12 weeks of recovery. Oh my heck! I don’t have time for this!
The good thing is that it won’t keep me away from the keyboard and microphone any longer. The other residual pain to my neck and spine are much better. I told the Doc today, “it just hurts when I move“.
So, here are (belatedly) the Winners of the last two drawings, with more to come!

I second that, Take care of your self. It is no fun being laid up. I hope you feel better soon. Take care and God bless, Cory
Congratulations to the winners!
Sorry about your rib, I have displaced ribs which is the same kind of pain, but mine is permanent, so I have learned to live with it. I hope you heal quickly and take it easy.
