ouchie, the pain...

[tommygirl]

Further proof that the house I'm living in currently is out to get me...I fell down the front stairs and screwed up my back. Now, this is nowhere near as bad as the fall I took two summers ago in Chiles parking lot where I ended up with two sprained wrists and two sprained ankles, but it's definitely one of the worse falls of my day. And I've had many. I mean, if you look up the word klutz in the dictionary, there is a huge photograph of me.

So yes, in utter and horrendous pain and my doctor can't see me until tomorrow and I really didn't want to go to the Emergency Room, so I'm waiting until tomorrow to see him. In the meantime, I'm just weeping and gripping my back and using a heat pad at work like I'm freaking eighty.

Damn house!

Damn klutzy feet!

Needless to say, I've been far too busy whining and complaining about woe the pain to do any writing. I really need to change that. I'm behind already on the April Fools challenge and that's not how I wanted to start. I've got to write 28K this month. I did it last year, so I know it can be done. I just have to actually sit down and do it.

Anyway, since I'm doing April Fools, I figure, if any of you have any ficlet requests that you want to see, comment and I'll see what I can do. I'm not promising anything definite, but if your prompt strikes me, it will probably get done as I need the word count. Also, for those who didn't get their lyric or valentine's ficlets yet, those will get done this month as well. Figure anything that helps my word count.

medie and iamtheenemy: The things I was sending out to you guys went out in the mail this afternoon, so keep a lookout for them.

So Remix authors have been revealed and I'll do another post with my story and such. Once again the stories were all amazing and musesfool rocks the house for running it so well. The only downside for me? The person I wrote for never sent feedback or mentioned it in her livejournal. Makes me sad. And a bit peeved. But what can you do?

Dude, my worst fall took place in the parking lot of the Battleship New Jersey. The irony being that throughout touring the battleship with the small ladders and such, everyone was like, "Be careful, klutzy" and I was perfectly fine. Get in the parking lot and BAM. Messed myself up.

But yes, luckily my doctor is good to me and called in an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxer this morning, so soon I will at least be drugged into a stupor. Hee.

Drugged stupors can be quite nice. ;)

I've been to Battleship Texas, and did mostly the same thing and survived. All the climbing and ladders and small spaces, with intense cramps at the time, I might add. You would think that would make it harder to concentrate, but I was fine. I also managed not to fall off the ferry to Galveston. hee

I've had my fair share of bad accidents though. Being clumsy is a terrifying day-to-day existence. ;)
