I am going to focus on my crafts for a few weeks. I initially thought it would take a week, but I currently have a box filled with over 5,000 random colored beads that need to be organized before I can start.
(I scraped my right leg during exercise class a few weeks ago. I thought it was a bruise... That's why.)
Bad news everyone- I have to go to hospital today, the day BEFORE I go to Malaysia for a holiday! I have an injury on my right leg that refuses to heal!
