I have really been having dreadful luck today ( Read more... )

I got a fat lip at work today because a cat clawed me in the freakin' mouth. It wasn't a mean cat, just a climbing cat, and happened to mistake my face for a tree when I went to pick him up. So the doctor's waiting for me to stretch him out for a blood draw and I turn him and his claw collides with the inside of my lip (my mouth was open, I guess ( Read more... )

Oooft. I broke my body. Softball was delicious fun but I didn't really stretch beforehand, except for playing some warm-up catch, and ow, the pain. Going down stairs = ev0l. I've been taking ibuprofen, tried a hot bath, and have been moving around a little so I don't stiffen up even more, but it's still slow going. I move like a hobbled 85- ( Read more... )

Since last Sunday I've had a wicked sore throat upon waking up, with it sometimes recurring during the day, along with a stuffy nose, a dying voice, and a thick congested cough at night and in the morning. But, I haven't felt at all sick except for Monday afternoon; when I realized I had a sore throat, I took about 8 Vitamin C capsules (at 833% of ( Read more... )

Today I got my first dog bite on the job.

From a 115-pound Rottweiler.

Bad (now upgraded to meh) stuff: I'm having to learn reception duties in preparation for the new receptionist having a few days off for vacation, as there will be absolutely no one to cover for her but me. (One of the two days I'm due to work reception, we're open all day but no one will be able to come in in the morning. Except me. That's right ( Read more... )

Well, we picked Sean up from the hospital this morning, and he was actually in pretty good spirits. I think he was mostly relieved to be out of that terrible pain, and he didn't much mind that they had to take it out, since he could feel that it was very wrong inside. Also, his best friend had to have one removed when he was little, so Sean has ( Read more... )

Gina vs. Man-made Objects: Objects 2, Gina 0.This morning I managed to stub my toe really hard on my desk, so hard that it ripped a bit of skin off and drew blood. After that I went in to take a shower. It had been a few days since I shaved my legs, so I shoved my hand into my shower caddy to find the razor. I found the razor. I found the head ( Read more... )
