update
halloween was a fun time. good turnout. my favorite trick-or-treater was a cute little ladybug. several zombie films of varying intensity were watched - shaun of the dead, planet terror, dead alive, and lastly hocus pocus which does, it was pointed out, also feature a zombie so the theme was upheld throughout the evening.
ended up not wearing the red riding hood. too cumbersome. at the last moment i opted to throw on my black vinyl ears and scratch eyeliner whiskers on my cheeks and be a cat instead. i still wore my petticoat, and all the black went with my sling. --i am totally going to cut this thing up and work the straps into my steampunk ensemble, by the way.--
it has been a painful day. excuse me, but where is my blissful oblivion? the vicodin is helping but not very much, just making the bone duller-feeling, and my left shoulder is starting to get shooting pains from all the stretching and odd movements it needs to do to make up for my injured right one. i did land on that side too, after all. ooh, plus these lovely blue bruises have blossomed on my right thigh and left hip. i can chart my entire descent now, more or less. very thrilling.
cash is taking good care of me but it's making me so self-conscious, like a nuisance. i can't tie my own hair back. i can't zip up my own hoodie. i can't grab my own seatbelt or carry more than one thing upstairs at a time. the check for the november utilities looked like it was scrawled by a first-grader. but i am getting a bit better at writing with the wrong hand, and even more adept than usual at picking things up with my toes.
something went wrong with my pushing daisies recording. that's frustrating.
i guess i'll read.
