[Freewrite] 5 Minute Freewrite — “quarantine”

Today I feel like I should quarantine myself in my house and just curl up on the couch with a blanket and a hot cup of tea.

Agh! The cup of tea is what I’m currently missing!

Besides not feeling well and being sick to my stomach somewhat, I woke up to a couple inches of snow outside.

Now, let me tell you — snow and I do not get along that well.

My greatest accident was in the snow — I was riding a beautiful palomino horse and managed to fall off (for numerous reasons) and the snow parted before me so I could land on the hard frozen ground. I broke most of the ribs on my left side, my right wrist, had a partially deflated lung on the left that required a chest tube, and a bit of internal bleeding near my kidney and my aorta. I was miserable. Seriously.

I also tend to walk on the outside of my feet, meaning that once or twice a year, I fall because my ankle rolls inward. Last time I fell, I fell on the frozen ground (there’s been a lot of that this year) and managed to rebreak two of the ribs I had broken in my riding accident. Ouch.

So until the roads clear or so (heaven forbid I have a car accident!), I think I’m going to quarantine myself in my house and curl up with a Batman comic book and a good hot cup of tea.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

P.S. Don’t let the blue sky in the background fool you — it’s all cloudy again.
