And So I'm Back, From Outer Space...

Sorry, it's been a couple of days since my last update, unusual for me, I know. I seem to have sprained and/or bruised my ankle when I was wearing flip flops the other day (yes, against doctor's orders, I know), and have been focusing on getting my ankle in shape before my next podiatry appointment. I think I'm going to ask for some more pain pills, though. OTC just isn't working anymore.

So, since I've been laid up I've been spending a lot of time writing, and I have finished one short story and started on two more. Wahoo! I'm going to have quite a bit of writing done for graduate school. Thank God. A creative writing major needs to have something like 75 pages to finish the thesis, not to mention the fiction and poetry writing courses.

Leah's boyfriend is coming up tonight to stay a couple nights with us. He's going to finish installing the new surround sound and we'll probably watch some loud, gun laden movies.. I don't know which ones we'll watch, but I'm sure we'll find enough to keep our ears ringing for hours.

18 more days until the concert at the ISF!! I'm getting a ticket for $5. So, a whole day at the fair topped off with a DB concert at night, all for $5...this is about as good as Coyote Willy's losing our tickets and getting in for free!
