Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Yay for one-handed typing. I went to the doctor yesterday, but couldn't afford all of the x-rays needed. Currently waiting to hear back from the school on how to proceed. For now, the doctorr doesn't believe anything is broken, but can't say for certain without x-rays. I have both knees wrapped and in knee braces for sprains and any potential ligament tears. I also have one wrist compressed and wrapped.

Moving on...

here are some of the challenges we've come up so far for a monthly challenge at "Invalid Item" :
