The things we take for granted

[scarlettina]

My hand has been in a brace for about half a week now. I've come to think of the padded, molded plastic brace wrapped with an Ace-style bandage as looking a little like a burkah for the hand.

OMG! I had no idea. And er, what happened? I think I missed a lot of posts lately... Will go look.

Anyway, I have deep sympathy for the predicament; I broke my wrist as a boy and it sort of ruined the whole summer for me. All the simple daily things suddenly weren't simple.

Speedy recovery!

Blame it on Robert Downey, Jr: Greenstick fracture of the left, fourth metacarpal bone. This is why you haven't heard from me, among other reasons.

Curse that Robert Downey Jr!

Greenstick fracture - ouch. Let me know if supplies of chocolate or sympathy run low. Lunch soon!

Your limitations have my profound sympathy. But you are being funny about it...

[scarlettina]

Thank you, sir. But like I said: I can't change the situation; I must, therefore, change my attitude. Besides, my first inclination is to indulge my Inner Drama Queen (Woe! Woe is me! Oh, woe!), and really, she gets plenty of air time without my encouraging her. She needs a little smackin'--oh, wait, I have this club right here....

Don't you have a cabana boy to help you out with all this?

[scarlettina]

Cabana boy is in Florida watching space shuttles launch and basking in the sunshine. Besides, as I have discovered, he doesn't do dishes.

Right now I am in Florida wishing I could do your dishes. I will when I get back, but as previously stated I prefer doing laundry.

*points to icon* Sorry it's only virtual chocolate....

Fingers crossed for swifter than estimated healing.

[scarlettina]

Hey, I'll take it. And thanks!

Mucho mucho sympathy.
