Carey brought all these books to the office for me from home. I've constructed a smaller version for our home dining table a couple of times for prior Christmases. This time I used an occasional table as the base; from floor to tip it stands about 5 1/2 feet tall. Every morning when I open the office door, I expect to see that the table has collapsed under the weight, but so far, so good.
I'll kind of be sad when it's time to come down.
It's been a couple of months since I've written here. It's been a crazy couple of months.
We went on vacation in late October, heading to the northeast. We were in Pennsylvania on my birthday. When we stopped to fill the car with gasoline, I got out to stretch my legs. I tripped. My head hit the pavement. Ambulance trip to the hospital. Nine stitches on forehead. Broken left arm. End of vacation. Headed home with pain killers. Missed a month of work.
The break was pretty simple...no surgery...I'm now doing physical therapy and am back at work. Things like picking up the laptop and typing are much easier now.
The scar on my forehead is only noticeable if I point it out. It curves right above my left eyebrow.
All told, I am very thankful that I got off as light as I did.
