Tom, how are you feeling today?
Well, I was never in much pain. After I face-planted onto a metal rail, I said to myself, "Oof, that's going to leave a mark". It was only after I touched my face and saw the blood on my hands that I realized I had to go get stitches.
Still, it stressed me out more than I wanted to admit to myself, so even after I got home I didn't get much sleep. Today I'm tired and depressed and sad and the sutures on my face aren't exactly subtle, and I have a black eye.
Time to practice saying, "you should see the other guy". I'm sorry, Tom. Can you take off some time to stay home for a bit while healing?
Wow, Kobe Bryant has apparently died in a helicopter crash. This may be related to why Twitter is having trouble loading.
Oh,man, Tom! Falling sucks! I fell on my face on my my front walk in November and still have a lump on my forehead. I had a nasty black eye for weeks (also it hurt like hell).
Timelies all!
Sorry about your fall, Tom. Glad it wasn't worse.
And a friend of mine here in Somerville is just now considered recovered from a concussion that she got slipping on the ice last winter. So any fall you don't get worse than a couple stitches is a good fall!
Apparently Kobe was with his 13 year old daughter and another parent and child on the way to a travel basketball game she was playing.
Their poor families. So awful.
In other news, the news from Wuhan about the Coronavirus outbreak is... not good. Among other issues, it's infectious before symptoms show up. Which makes it hella hard to identify and contain.
