An Unexpected Interruption

The Everyday Adventurer will not be updated for awhile. Friday afternoon while I was sitting at a stop light in my truck I was hit from behind by another car. The truck was smashed up pretty good and I was rushed to the hospital. I'm getting better now, but it's going to take time for me to get back to normal. As a result I am taking some time off from everything so I can have time to heal. I hope it won't be long, but I'm not sure how long it will take. Nature Center Magazine will also stop for the time being for the same reason.

I'm hoping I will be able to get Nature Center Magazine back up and running in about a week, but I'm not sure yet. It's going to take longer to get The Everyday Adventurer back up because walking my nature trails is impossible for me right now. I'll be back as soon as I can though.

In the meantime I hope you will all visit the links of others that appear in my comments section here, the links in my sidebar, and the other blogs that I'm linked to through the advertisements on this site. I'll also be back to reading and commenting on your blogs as soon as I can.

I hope to be back soon.

  2. Oh Ratty, I am so sorry you had to go through such an experience. I hope you are not in a lot of pain. Take good care of yourself and take it easy for as long as necessary. You will be in my thoughts.

    Don't push yourself, maybe repost some of your early adventures that many of us missed.

  4. Oh, Ratty! I hope your injuries aren't too serious. Whiplash is the pits, even if that's all you end up with. Broken bones? We will have to posts cheerful get-well pictures on our blogs for you! Hugs (if you aren't offended by that) (careful ones so they won't hurt you more)
