Damaged

This entry is purely for sympathy. Because I'm selfish like that.

First of all, I've torn a muscle in my side. Just walking around yesterday, doing nothing, and next thing I know I'm lying on the floor in agony. I was angry and in pain; angry because I didn't do anything! ... but then I remembered I've been mowing the lawn a lot recently ("cutting the grass", just for Brooke ;) ) and the number of times I've had to start the mower using the ripchord lead me to believe this was the main cause behind the muscle tear.

Now normal people would probably rest and take it easy, however I had intended to do some decorating and wouldn't let a muscle tear get in the way. It actually eased up later on, and after sleeping last night seemed a lot better then yesterday.

So went back to decorating, took down this large wall mirror, and dropped it on my left big toe. Yep, most of my big toe is a dark shade or purple at the moment, but it wasn't broken, so like the trooper I am I continued decorating. Until my side starting seizing up, on top of my toe throbbing. Gah, why weren't we put together better? Severe design flaw in mother nature's plan if you ask me.

Also the beard is no more. I got depressed the other day and shaved it off. It didn't help, and now I have stubble again to contend with (so irritating).

Isn't life grand.
