I was skating from work to the bus stop, when I hit a rock or a stick or something of the sort. My board stopped moving; I didn't. I landed on my left arm, and strained, sprained, twisted… did something bad to it. I'm pretty sure it's not broken, and I have feeling in my fingers and can move them, but other than that I couldn't do much with it all yesterday. It's a little better today, I don't need the makeshift sling to carry my arm around in any more, hopefully I'll be able to draw something today to send you guys off for the weekend.

You know, I've never really realized just how important both arms are. I'm a righty, so never give much thought to my left arm, but not being able to use it for a day pretty much made life miserable. If anyone who ever reads this is an amputee, I salute you good sir or ma'am. That shit can't be easy.
