When You're Cooked

Well… this was not the episode I planned to record. After an unexpected encounter with a curb left me with a fractured elbow, I’m talking about what happens when your plans change in an instant—and you have no choice but to recalibrate. I’m working through the disappointment, adjusting my expectations, trying to accept where I am instead of where I want to be, and figuring out how to keep moving forward (metaphorically and, whenever possible, literally). Because sometimes “making the most of it” doesn’t mean pretending everything is fine. It means being annoyed, disappointed, grateful, hopeful, and determined all at the same time. Both can be true. I’m also talking runDisney, including the new Wine & Dine 5K corral start-time situation and my plan for tackling it—assuming this elbow and I are able to make it to Wine & Dine at all. Plans change. Expectations change. Sometimes you’re cooking…and sometimes you’re cooked.
