So this book design project is getting to be a lot more pressing and epic a project than I can even seem to be able to tackle at this point. It just seems like a whole lot of impossibility to me…
… so here is my thought right now…
I’m going to give myself a time limit, and if I don’t find a graphical style and start writing my stories soon, like by the time dinner rolls around, I completely scrap the project and start on a new one. I have to pick and chose my battles and this just doesn’t seem to be one that I’m going to win…
I’m thinking my new book idea will either be a cook book or a random food fact book. I don’t know… I just want to cry everywhere right now…

So, apparently the Gods have it out for me… Not a word of a lie: I was going downstairs to get something to eat and I tripped up on the stairs and screwed up my ankle. This is bad because previously in the summer I fell down a set of stairs on campus, and I busted both my ankles and my back pretty badly. I was on crutches for months before I could even attempt to walk around with a severe limp. Well, lucky me: my ankle’s been acting up all week this week, and this extra little screw up made all my tendons seize up and the bone in my heel is now sticking out at a really odd angle. If you don’t believe me, I still have the hospital band to prove it, along with the protruding heel bone… :S
I just spent the last 8 hrs at the hospital waiting in line after line trying to get my foot fixed. My dad drove down all the way from Peterborough just to take me because I actually couldn’t even walk. I now have an appointment with an orthopedist on Monday morning, and strict orders to not move anywhere. Needless to say my Cotch book didn’t get going, so this is the official update that I am changing directions and going with a dessert cookbook idea (I had enough time to think about it at the hospital…). I actually can’t take on anything more at this point and it saddens me a lot. I will make it a point to carry on with my plans next semester on making the book, but for now the Cotch has been halted. RIP Cotch Book, until next semester. And apparently the same goes for my ankle, because it is super screed up.
AHHHH. I just want to kick things in the face right now…
