Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  I'm still having difficulty with getting much writing done due to my ulnar nerve issue. I'm counting the days until next Monday when I can see the orthopedist and find out what's going on and what treatment he will recommend.

Motivational Quote:  "Your progress is not on a schedule. Your success is not on a time clock. Your healing is not based on speed. You're not too late. You haven't missed it. There is no rush. Breathe." ~ Eso Tolson

What I'm Reading:  I finished reading The Love Fix by Jill Shalvis last night. It's the eighth book in the Sunrise Cove series. I'll pick a new book to read tonight.

Random Thing:  I thought the above quote was particularly appropriate considering I am feeling behind schedule with this book and am worried how long it will take for my nerve to heal so that I can get back to my usual writing schedule.

Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  I didn't get much written last week. I'm suffering from an aggravated ulnar nerve that makes it difficult to type or write by hand for any length of time without pain shooting from my elbow into my wrist and my last two fingers going numb. I saw an orthopedic physician's assistant but he just gave me a brace to wear and referred me to an actual orthopedist. I don't see that physician until 8/4 so I'm trying to rest my elbow and wrist as much as I can and still get some stuff done.

What I'm Reading:  I'm currently reading Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter. I should finish it tonight as I'm very close to the end. The book is a stand alone rom-com.

Random Thing: One of my favorite times of the year is here -  School supply buying time. I can't resist perusing the aisles and buying binders, folders, and 1 subject notebooks. I use them for writing. I came across a clear, hard plastic, zippered pencil case that looked perfect to hold some of my planner stickers so I had to buy that as well. School supplies were always a weakness of mine when I was a child/teen. I guess I still haven't outgrown the allure of all those shiny new notebooks and such.

       I found a new flavor of pop-tarts to try. They were more blueberry than lemon flavored.
 

 

Happy 4th of July

I realize I'm a few days late. I hope you and your families had a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend.
