March may have roared in like a lion, but it also came with
a sprained ankle! Yes, on March 1, I fell and sprained my ankle. Since I was
supposed to stay off my feet to recuperate (I needed a wife, but that’s another
post for a different blog), I had time on my hands. What to do? Well I could still use my laptop
so I got online and did some research and writing. I
also decided to wade through some of those books that I haven't read.
How much have I accomplished? Well, not as much as I would
have liked. I read one book each week. I researched my family tree, (another
ongoing project) as some of it could end up in a book or article or perhaps
just inspire me. I didn't write anything
prolific, but I did write.
Since cabin fever had set in, I attended the March meetings of
my book club and my writers group, the following week. I had to hobble around
with my cane, but I managed. In between
the meetings, I did some research at the local public library. It was good to
be out of the house for awhile, but the going was slow.
I’m glad I was able to do something constructive during my
recovery this month, but hopefully April will be better!
What did you accomplish this month? (And I bet you didn't sprain your ankle!)
