recording...

Despite not having set my alarm, I arose at 04:15, fifteen minutes earlier than most days. I had trouble getting comfortable. Coffee and internet perusal as usual, then I went to look at the harvest moon setting through the front window. (Last night Kevin and the kitties and I spent a solemn moment observing the Mid-Autumn moonrise [EDIT: Oh, wait that's tonight] and talking [like clueless fucking white people] about how Chinese people around the world were doing the same.)

Yesterday I fell in the walk-in because 1) some thoughtless asshat spilled grease on the floor and 2) another -- or the same -- thoughtless asshat emptied a 5-pound jug of peeled shallots and then left the empty plastic jug on the floor several rows of shelves away. I went to pick up and recycle the container, stepped in the grease, and whoosh, was on my back on the floor. Went to the doctor after about 6 hours when it began to hurt. I now have two enforced days' leisure to see how stiff and sore I get and whether or not I can recover in that time.

The odd part is that I mostly feel okay, though more neck and back pain than yesterday, which means my body is still reacting to the injury. I will feel worse before I feel better. Calculating that anticipated curve with the doctor was weird.

mid-autumn, accidents, moon, injury, health
