Monday Check In

Last week...

Writing Related:  Not much writing done last week. I slipped on some black ice in our driveway and ended up with a mild concussion, one broken rib, two cracked ribs, and a bunch of bruises. Needless to say, the concussion and pain from the rib injury made it very hard to concentrate.

What I'm Reading: I hope to start reading Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey tonight. It's a Christmas themed book but I don't mind. I'll read holiday themed books throughout the year despite what holiday the book revolves around.

Random Thoughts:  Just thought I'd share some info that I learned up close and personal about broken/cracked ribs. They don't tape or bind them any more. The only treatment is ice, heat, and pain medication. It also takes about ten weeks on average for broken or cracked ribs to fully heal. I was not happy to hear that.

  Aren't these cute? I think they were made with AI, but I wish they were available for sale.

Writing Related: Not much accomplished last week. I worked extra hours at the day job to cover for a co-worker who was on vacation.

Motivational Quote: "With time and consistent effort in one direction, you can have what you want. You'll let go of the distractions and dead weight that keep you from the aligned focus you need to be successful." ~ Unknown

What I'm Reading: I'm going to start Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey tonight. It's the second book in the It Happened One Summer series.

Random Things: My brother isn't much of a reader, but he does listen to audio books. He talked me into giving it a try. I have to say I love listening to audio books. I wish I'd looked into it earlier. I've started listening to them while I'm doing housework. It certainly makes the chore of dusting go a lot quicker. I also listen at work depending on the task I'm working on.
