We went for a brief traipse in the woods yesterday and all I got were these lousy cuts on my legs. And arms. Thank goodness they missed my beautiful face.
At the truck stop on the way home a French Canadian couple in line behind me were admiring my legs and whispering in Quebecois. I couldn’t understand what they were saying but I imagine it was “Oh ho ho, self cutter!” or perhaps “Oh ho ho, she ‘as a boyfriend with a whip!” Well. Neither.
Other than those, this has been the week for injuries for me. Starting a couple days ago when I sat with my leg bent on my couch and when I tried to stand up my knee locked up and it took a couple minutes to fix and I said the word ow many times. Then limped for the rest of the day. It still hurts.
Then I bashed my elbow at work, on my way out the door, on Saturday. Not like a regular bashing, where it hurts like crazy and tingles like something tingly for a few minutes, but it hurt. And I could feel it up into my shoulder and all the way down in to my ring and pinky fingers. Still hurts. I actually considered going to the hospital for this.
And because my right arm is sore, my left arm has been over compensating, and now my tennis elbow is acting up. Plus my lower back hurts from heavy lifting, my neck is sore from sleeping on it funny, and I am planning on having terrible cramps any minute.
I am going back to bed. Hopefully I survive.
