"The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity."

Overambitious

It's been quite a week. First our (actually my mom's) horse jumped out of the arena and ran down the road, then, the next day, my dog jumped the fence and ran down the road—luckily he came when I called, then, last night, I discovered why canning pickles is a really bad idea—somehow I dropped the pot of boiling pickle juice, scalded my leg, slipped on the liquid and fell rather dramatically, and somehow jammed my toenail into my toe hard enough to make it bleed. Oh, and finally, about an hour after my parents left for their cottage, I realized that I had never had them drive me to the pharmacy to pick up one of my prescriptions that runs out tomorrow. It's annoying, just when I start to feel confident about my recovery, I am quickly reminded of my limitations—ignorance IS bliss,
