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.

Always Anti-fascist!

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.

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.
