summer time

Summer has hit hard and fast - just like normal. This time it hit right at the point of my right shoulder, thereby dislocating the shoulder and stretching or tearing my ACL. The healing process has gone much faster than I initially thought it would. Prior to going to the doctor for my expensive x-rays I was certain that my shoulder was busted in at least three places. I don't find it nearly as impressive to say that I have a grade I ACL separation, although the bruising 'dripping' down the front of me may indicate some tearing of the ACL. (researching stuff on the Internet is so educational;) Sometimes, I feel, it's not so good to be impressive. I do find it a bit difficult to shift the car into fifth gear, but such is life.

The summer has brought enough news that I don't feel like I have the time to type it all in. I feel that I need to run off and attempt to keep up with the rest of the summer before it's gone.

In summation:
I was gone for all of July - "visiting friends in a large city located in North America" During this visit I was able to spend some time tutoring kids, learning to fix bikes, sewing with B. and learning about other cultures and religions of the world. I also learned that it is not politically correct to say that I have have little interest in politics and would rather not vote at all. I had hoped to come home and work on finishing the walls in the basement, but within 24 hours of my bus pulling into the McDonald's in Eau Claire, I dislocated my shoulder and put construction plans on hold.
So, I'm job hunting, and doing projects that do not require pushing, pulling, or repetitive motion. But, alas, these projects have yet to include updating my blog with photos.
