Bad news: Can't get a regular cast until Wednesday. There's too much swelling. Really bad news: I will need a cast for 6-8 weeks with no weight bearing at all. Ugh....

well, good time to catch up on reading, knit, etc.

If you haven't read them -- I suggest What Alice Forgot, The Husband's Secret, and Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

Orange is the New Black, Piper Kerman

The Boys of My Youth, Jo Ann Beard

I just ordered The Stepford Wives -- I hear it is awesome.

Hey you, get off of my cloud...

Hmmm...I liked the Liane Moriarty books. I'm going to check out The Boys of My Youth. Is The Stepford Wives a new book or the original one from decades ago?

Stepford is the old one -- I never read it.

I'm going to catch up on some reading. I never read the Stepford Wives. My mom has oodles and oodles of some beautiful yarn. I don't know how to knit, but I can crochet. Isaac Mizrahi has some gorgeous yarns at Michael's. My daughter is reading Angela's Ashes. She said it was good.

Tansy, it will be Spring when I get this off. I am grateful for that. I bought some sandals today. Lol.

I didn't finish American Gods, Donna. Maybe I'd like the short stories though.

Sandals, brii?? {#emotions_dlg.blink}{#emotions_dlg.w00t}

Hi, brii! I just saw this thread. No fun for you, for sure!

Prayers and good vibes going out to you. You have a good sense of humor about this, and that goes a long way toward making it better. Take good care of yourself, okay?{#emotions_dlg.wub}
