Although it is in the heat of summer where I live, I recently became a proud new owner of a snowboard. Just have to wait six more months to try it out. We don’t get much snow here.

I broke my ankle less than a week ago. Joking around with some friends on the river, I told them to watch “tarzan” (me) swing from the rope swing. My hand slipped and I fell ten feet and landed on the rocks instead of the river. From my knee down was instantly purple. And it HURT!!!!! Some very nice people carried me up to the parking lot and another friend drove me to the hospital. I have a removable boot, no cast and am on crutches for at least six weeks. My whole summer is wasted. Not a good idea!

As strange as it may seem, I wish to get rid of my allergy to animals. When I come into contact with furry animals, I go into anaphylactic shock. This is very rare and is usually only seen in scientists constantly working with lab animals. I wish to get rid of it because nobody seems to realize that I could die from petting a dog or borrowing a jacket from someone who has a cat at home. I have been taking allergy shots since June and I can tell a slight difference. The last reaction I had was cleared up with benadryl and my inhaler.
