I was two seconds away from ordering a pizza for my "first lunch" when I talked myself off the ledge. First I told myself, "no…

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
If I had a superpower it would be instantaneous muscle and bone regeneration. Why? Because I am so tired of still suffering from an ankle I broke nearly 4 months ago! I can't do anything the way I used to.
