Disabled

So I went back to the doctors, got a second MRI done on my foot and the diagnosis- still hella inflamed. Okay, so those may not be his exact words, but you get what I'm saying. The fact that I have to stand for 8 hours with my day job wasn't helping the healing process of my foot. So to make sure this thing heals for sure, I was given a shot of cortisone (OUCH) and a cast on my leg for four weeks. I thought about it for a while whether or not I should take a disability leave from work, weighing the positive and the negatives and I felt that since I'm not paying rent right now anyways, staying at my parent's house, then I should take the disability and let myself heal completely. After I got the cast on, it was clear that I made the right decision. There's no way I can stand for eight hours a day, I can barely walk around.

ANYWAY

So I'm out of work for 4 weeks. Wow I'm actually on summer break. How funny. I haven't had a summer break since I was in high school, and even then I worked part time. I really want to take advantage of this time I have to write something. I haven't been very disciplined with writing. I want to make a good goal to have and I think I've come up with one.

I've always have wanted to write a one woman show in which I explore how different women feel about their bodies and their appearances- do like 10-12 different character monologues. It really does get to exercise not only my writing, but my character work. I get to be funny with some, and dramatic with other, and just real and honest about a topic that I believe everyone can relate to.

It was either that, or I spend the 4 weeks working on jigsaw puzzles.
