does anyone else have slightly mysterious brusies?

[orangerful]

so today was a day of self-inflicted injuries.

First, I woke up and my ankle hurt like crazy. This has happened before and I blamed it on my heeled sandals being worn to work. But yesterday I wore completely FLAT shoes. Apparently, this is bad too. I woke up early so I could get maybedeadcat's keys so I can check his mail for him while he's away and was hobbling around. Actually wearing my heeled sandals felt better than walking flat at the time so when he arrived at 7:30am I was in my pajamas and sandals. But then they stopped helping when I went to Giant and I was limping all over the store. Stairs are really bad. I have since tied a random bandage around my ankle and I am wearing my flip flops, which seems to help.

THEN I went to close the blinds while getting dressed and while fixing one of them, I managed to slice my pinky finger!!! Two little scratches on my hand, which are going to be an issue when I cook dinner later tonight - lemon chicken! I will forget and lemon juice will get in the cuts...just wait and see.

After that, I decide to vacuum because I have friends coming over tonight and I wanted to place to not be totally covered in cat hair. In a cleaning fit, I decided to vacuum under my desk. Being very careful to not suck up any of the PC cords on the ground, I failed to notice the speaker wire that had managed to get hooked on the vacuume's cord hook...and I pulled most of my desktop over onto myself. Speakers, which had a cord wrapped around my monitor stand, so that came with it, along with all my action figures carefully balanced on top of it. I literally screamed "NO!" as it fell...and no one cared. So, good to know that if i managed to really have something fall on myself, I will most likely die here.

Just kidding. Someone would notice I wasn't posting online eventually and come find me ;-)

Worst part was that the monitor fell on to my iPhone, leaving a nice scratch in the center of the screen. Nothing horrific, but still. I know it could have been much worse though, I was really worried my monitor was done for since I had to grab at the screen as it fell. But everything is back together now, slightly re-arranged but working.

And it's only 5pm! Who knows what madness the rest of the night brings! I did agree to cook food for everyone. Hopefully I can do this without incident. :)

I get myself banged up mysteriously (mostly by taking corners too fast and getting my hip bruised by a table or desk) but you really did a trifecta! I hope your ankles feel better soon, and the lemon chicken was not too painful to make.

I totally experience mysterious bruising all the time. I think I walk into things more than I remember walking into things and the bruises are evidence of this... well that and Craig sometimes elbows me in his sleep!
