bad news folks - life sucks.
but in case you already knew this in the general sense, allow me to explain the specific way it has manifested today for me. i hurt my hand last sunday in tang soo do (sparring with an idiot), and it has officially been declared broken - in a small way, of course, otherwise it wouldn't have taken me until today to get that diagnosis. below the fifth metacarpal bone, a fracture has occurred between the knuckle and the base of the hand. in other words, it's the left side of my left hand that hurts like a mothafucka. i think i made it worse by not going to get it checked out immediately, and then falling on it later in the week, and doing other various things to use it, and so on and so forth. what does this mean, julliet? you might ask. and yes, i do indeed blame all of this on julliet, my idiotic alter ego - so have her explain to you. *ahem* for the next six weeks, i am prohibited from taking off the ulnar gutter splint (why they call it that i have no idea, but it fits the rest of my personality i think) and from doing any physical activity that could possibly injure it further. this includes both piano and martial arts :(. i expect sympathetic notes designed for ultimate cyber comfort!
er, the other thing about life sucking is that i forgot that i had a midterm today in latin. but hey, totally legitimate reason, i think - although i sent my teacher the message telling her i had been ordered to go get the splint put on and thus missed her class even before realizing that i had forgotten the midterm. whatever the case, i'm taking it on wednesday instead, but i believe any neutral thoughts she had before about me must now be sacrificed to exasperation in my general direction. oy vey. my mind can only handle so much at once, people! this is ok, right? how stupid should i be feeling now? i think i am pretty stressed, but it's like my mind's reaction to stress is to shut off normal capabilities so i can stay calm about the crazy shit going down, such as a broken hand. anyway, do your friend-ly duty and tell me it's okay, guys. it will be much appreciated.
