Woke up this morning with the blues. Not sure why - could be a letdown after 60th birthday bash and book launch party. Could be that my right arm (and yes, I'm a rightie) has been in a sling for 3 weeks after rotator cuff surgery and I still have 3 weeks to go in the sling. Could be that I'm trapped in the house unless someone kidnaps me and takes me out. Could be all of the above. I spend most of my time trolling on the computer, checking my various social networking sites, emails, and now the book blog tour class work. I've been reading a bunch as well. Just finished "People of the Book," by Geraldine Brooks. Fabulous historical novel about the Sarajevo Hagaddah (a text used on Jewish holiday of Passover). The auther wove a fictional story around this very real 500+ years artifact that held me spellbound.
Typing is still difficult. I have to position the laptap in a very awkward way in order to reach the keyboard with my right hand and can't stay in position that long. Whine, whine, whine.
Looking forward to getting to know my fellow blog tour classmates. It will be an interesting journey. Till later,
Karen

Nice post - very candid and intimate. Hope you heal well and soon. Having it difficult to key is not a good situation for a writer. :(

60 and you're in a BBT class? I'm impressed! Kudos to you. And good-looking blog!
My sympathies, Karen. I know how irritating an injury can be when you really just want to get things done. I did some massive damage to my left ankle last August and I'm still doing work on recovery. Don't be afraid of using the sympathy angle to get someone to come entertain you or kidnap you and take you somewhere fun!
I sympathize with the rotator cuff. took me about 6 months to heal. I didn't want surgery. we'll have fun in this class and learn a great deal.
My sister had her 60th birthday last year and she has less energy than before too. Karen, our body may age with time but let's hope our love for live remains young.

Enjoyed the post but hoping your arm improves quickly. I've had a shoulder injury that's kept off the tennis courts for the past 6 months. Just getting back into the game. Hope those blues are gone by tomorrow.
Now doesn't all this company make you feel better? Nice B.A.D. start! :)

Karen, you remind me of my inspiration, Glenda Watson Hyatt, a lady better known as the 'left thumb blogger' :-)

Sorry you are having trouble with your rotator cuff, and having to try to do things in a sling. I can certanly sympathize since I once had a frozen shoulder and wore a sling for weeks. You are quite dedicated to be doing a blog in that shape, and I admire the great job you are doing!
