I can still feel my dent in the upper thigh from the dhow. In 2001, Mozambique.It looked like a Virgin Mary icon when the bruise came up, 4 days later.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I bruise if you blink at me. So that should be great if I ever do study krav.
Man, one of the side effects of spending summers fundraising by working with privileged white teens is that my fb feed is a never ending parade of engagement and wedding photos as the "kids" cycle through their life stages. I keep thinking, man are you still posting more wedding photos, but no, totally different couple. I'm just losing track because it never ever ends.

I bruise easily and I'm pale, so it shows. The most spectacular bruises I've had were mostly on my forearms.
#1 At our old office building the elevators would sometimes slam closed as you were getting on. One time it happened and I put up my arm to block it and got this huge one that went most of the length of my forearm.
#2 I tripped over a lump in the sidewalk (I'm the picture of grace!), staggered a few steps, and came up against the cast iron fence. One of the ones with spikes on the top. I missed the spikes, but put my arm up and - yup - got bruises on both sides of both forearms.

I'm also pale and bruise easily, and also bang into things a lot due to my gait and complete lack of grace. However, I can't think of any truly spectacular bruises that I've had.

Thrive to spite them
Although I was pretty much cough free yesterday (and cough medicine free) I had a cough fit that lasted a few minutes. It was no where near as bad as they have been, but it was back to not being able to stop coughing. So I took the cough syrup with codeine and hopefully that will let my throat and body rest some more.
I'm going to work tomorrow. For a full shift, unless I really start coughing badly and can't make it through.

Good luck, askye! Time to banish the cough for good.

Best of luck getting through your full shift tomorrow, askye.

I want to do something for Will for Valentine's day but I probably won't get to see him with his work schedule and me (hopefully) going back to work.
I don't have a card for him and the only thing he said he wanted was a full size Crunch bar.
