Speaking of things happening
Have you missed me the last couple weeks? I’m currently immobile following an interesting surgery on my ankle for some repairs, including a torn Achilles tendon. Some things got screwed together, and a cast is next. I had no idea that racing my dog into the pool to claim the floatie, and missing a couple steps in the process, would cause such issues. But I did win the floatie race. So there’s that.
I hope you all have a great week.
