When I saw this photo, I immediately could relate. This is how I feel with a broken leg. Maybe if I padded up myself with balloons, I could go outside and enjoy this Fall weather. No, wait, I can't get thru the door. Yes, folks, I am still on the mend, but that doesn't mean that I can't find humor in the situation! There's an elephant in the room, and its me. :)

I am going to try and hobble down the Mag Mile today (with the help of Mr. Shop This) and get my nails done. This will be my first public appearance with cane and cast. May I suggest that you try something new today, too? Have a beautiful weekend.
