Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Pass the bubble wrap, please.

The good news: My family on the East coast sent me a Christmas present, and it was delivered today.
The bad news: UPS delivered it to the apartment building next door. Right apartment number, wrong building number.
The good news: When I got the delivery email, but found no package at my door, I correctly guessed what had happened, and was able to go get my package.
The bad news: While walking back to my apartment building, I tripped and fell on the sidewalk. I did not land well.
The good news: I did not break any bones. Although my glasses came off, I did not scratch or break them. Although my phone flew from my hoodie pocket and hit the sidewalk, it did not break. Although my wallet flew from my other hoodie pocket, I was able to find it not far away. I did not realize I had lost my shoe until I stood up, but it too wasn't far away. The package did not break open, and the contents were not damaged. I made it back to my apartment okay.

I have road rash on my left knee and right palm, a sore right hip, and a very sore heel of my left palm.

The scrapes have been cleaned up and bandaged. They sting. I have taken a painkiller. I have a lot of rest-ice-compression-elevation in my future.

Oh, my goodness, dcp! Bubble wrap indeed. I'm glad no bones or presents or equipment broke, but... ouch! Rest yourself!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh goodness, dcp. I hope you can rest up tomorrow and that the soreness doesn't last too long.

Plei, I'm sorry you're dealing with so many things. Health-ma to Ticky
