Rude Awakening

[tinhuviel]

I woke up a little before six, like I do, and started to get out of bed when I lost my balance and went crashing to the floor. My bed is pretty high and I hand nothing on which to which to hold to I landed full force on my right cheek bone...on hardwood floor. If I don't have a black eye and a bruised face by this afternoon, it will be a miracle. When it happened, I just sort of lay there on the floor in a dazed state, unable to move. The fall woke Aunt Tudi up and she ran in scared out of her wits. She thought I was having another seizure. I felt so bad for her. Finally, I pulled myself off the floor and slunk to the kitchen for some aspirin and water, 'cos I knew I was gonna be hurting. I've already begun to and it's only been an hour since gravity pulled it's funny little trick on me.

There was the consolation of a new blog entry from Barry, which as about the sea, a fascination it seems we both share. I went ahead and posted the blog in its entirety here sans pictures. They can be found at the Shriekback site (Shriekback.com). It's really a wonderful read and I fully recommend it. It's perfect to get your mind off nearly knocking your head off getting out of bed.

OUCH!! I have to say my first thought was the knees, but that doesn't make the cheek hurt less.

Ice & Asprin is your friend today.
