Landlocked...

Well, very soon after I published my first swimming blog I was beached!  What happened was this.... later in the afternoon after my last post, I decided to paint a mural on my family room wall.  I was very excited because though I have done a number of stencils in the past this time I was going to attempt free hand painting for the very first time.  I ordered professional paint brushes, new paint and had practiced on some poster board.  I was very anxious when I started to paint but as I went on and the painting was going smoothly I relaxed.  It was late in the day when I decided to get up on a ladder to paint closer to the cathedral ceiling.  As I was leaning over to put the last touches of red on the highest flower, the ladder tipped over to the left and I went right.  Unfortunately my ankle went left with the ladder.  The good news is that I am fine, the bad news is that I tore some ligaments in my ankle and cannot swim for at least a few weeks....
