My goal for today:

My goal for today was to drag myself away from the amazing book I had the pleasure of reading. I bought the book late afternoon yesterday, and it was finished by this morning. That's a pretty typical thing for me-- reading books in the matter of hours. My desire is to now own the second book in the series. My problem: there is absolutely no way I am walking in Barnes & Noble today. My ankle-- the ankle I feel I could rant about all day long-- is out of place. Usually, I could deal with the pain. It's kind of like sucking through a really thin straw. It takes a while; it leaves you breathless, but eventually the liquid sloshing in the cup (or in my case, the pain in my ankle) is forgotten. Unfortunately, the pain insists on shooting up into my knee and hip. So, here I am, stuck on my spot in my chair waiting to catch a break. Does anyone have an extra one I can borrow?
