Training Lefty

You realize, of course, that for the past few days Fiorlla has been tapping this blog out with her left hand--in fact, just the middle finger of her left hand.  It's a hazardous undertaking because Lefty is unaccustomed to going solo and tends to omit letters, add in extraneous ones, or accidentally delete the whole of what Fio has just spent fifteen minutes composing. 

Fio's handwriting is even worse.  Lefty writes like a three-year-old.  But that hasn't stopped your girl.  No, she's taken it as a challenge and has carefully completed two daily crossword puzzles by hand--not that she knows any other way to do them--and her handwriting--or her printing, at least--is getting more and more legible.  If she keeps this up, by the time her right hand heals, she may wind up ambidextrous writing-wise.

This is the point at which Fiorella is supposed to say that challenges are just opportunities in disguise, but she doesn't believe that.  Some challenges are insurmountable and you just have to suffer.
