So, what with the broken foot, the sprained right hand, and various bumps and bruises from another (!!) fall this weekend, we decided it would be best to cancel our journey northwest-ward for now and my reading up in Pasco for Columbia Basin College, which I really regret. What timing to have an accident or three!
I blame gremlins. Sneaking around, tripping me up…just in time for my trip! Boo! I will miss you Gwen, Felicity, and Seattle-friends! But I do plan on rescheduling a trip up to Seattle soon…

Trying to think of places to send a review-essay, and gearing up to write a conference proposal, another review, and some course-work for my upcoming class in April. Lots of work to do, and without the distracting use of my right hand and foot, well, I should be able to squeeze it in. Another week or two til I can do weight-bearing exercises on my foot! I’ve never been in such a hurry to progress to the next step of physical therapy before! I’ve been getting lots of good advice from my little brother, who broke his foot a number of times (among other things) in his quest for Shaolindo-black-belt-hood. His advice? It takes four weeks for a bone to set. Until then, rent lots of engrossing tv shows on DVD, and maybe play some video games. You can only read so many hours of the day – I go cross-eyed after about four hours these days. Also? There are a lot of nerves in the foot. Which is not such a good thing when you break a couple of bones. Like the opposite of reflexology. LOL.

Got my contributor’s copy of Redactions in the mail yesterday and looking forward to seeing Sentence’s new issue soon too (if they got my new address…it’s hard for lit mags to keep up with my many, many moves…)
