Indisposed

The craziest thing happened this weekend..... I was swimming in Fenton Lake on Friday evening, when all of a sudden, I felt something grab me around my waist. It was sharp! Before I knew it, I was being hoisted 15 feet into the air and flung back and forth like a ragdoll. When I looked down to see what I was attached to, my eyes were filled with wonder as I glimpsed what could only be described as a close relative of the Loch Ness monster. After a few seconds that seemed like minutes in my fear, I was hurled 55 ft toward the shore. Fortunately, most of my body landed in some deep sticky red mud, but my arm unfortunately struck a hard granite outcrop. Although my arm is broken or sprained, I feel truly lucky to be alive.

Things I really miss about having two functional hands:

1. Ability to knit

2. Ability to put buttons in buttonholes

3. Two-handed typing

4. Driving (although I have AWESOME friends)

5. Opening my Nalgene by myself.

Now, in case you were wondering, the Loch Ness monster disappeared before I could snap a picture of him.

I did, however, get a picture of this Bug. I am not too sure of the artistic choices that have been made here, but it was worth putting ou there.

Did I mention I really miss knitting? I can kind of do it, but the guage is off, and my left hand hurts to hold the needle in a vice-like grip. I should learn to knit with my teeth.
