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.
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 broke a blood vessel in my hand because somebody closed a door on it.
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.
DC-area valentine's message:
Our love is like Metro delays - neverending
On the lighter side - someone (here?) pointed me to a site called Frock Flicks - about costuming in movies - the good, the bad, the ugly, the hysterically wrong. One feature is Man Candy Monday; one included a Buffista favorite - John Barrowman. Including a clip of him meeting the ice bucket challenge.
Next time I got out and the entrance ramp to the highway is closed, I'm taking it as a sign to turn around and go home. 20 minute drives should not take an hour and a half.
