Sleep and lots of it ! :cigar:

Today,

I won't be doing much except to take in more rest:
had to cancel today's plans because
my allergies are causing me troubles :unhappy:
(keeping my epi pen nearby).

I got my diploma today!! One down, at least one more to go. I start back May 9th.

My Morning Accomplishment -
 

I killed my toe this morning.

I was like five minutes away from walking out the door for work. I had left my large (very heavy and keyword = unbudgible) toolbox out because I had done some little fix-it things around inside the house early this morning. (tightened doorknob on 2nd bedroom, etc.) I was headed to get my shoes and did not step high enough over the toolbox with my left foot. Yikes, I was immediately rolling around on the floor in my boxers, holding my foot, daring not to look at it because I was totally convinced I had knocked my toe completely off. Special words were spewing out of my mouth, some I did not realize I knew until then ... some were coined special words that I made up on the fly. The dogs immediately tried to rally around me to see if they could help. All I could do between rolling on the floor and continuing with my special words was tell Kelly and Kevin to please get back ... and don't run off with my missing toe.

:(

limped into work thirty minutes late ...

I finally accomplished sucking up enough guts to look ... to see if I still had that toe. It is there. It is purple ... all over, in fact. Hurts like a son of a bitch!

Scootie, I see where you were the one who had ... just had to post the "LOL" when you repped me! All along, I suspected it would be you to laugh!

Heh Heh! It is funny to me now. I wish I had a video of it to post. Pure slapstick ... my red checkety boxers would have added a nice touch had we been able to get the video. Kelly and Kevin's concerned little faces would have been priceless ... those two trying to stand over me, plus dodge all the rolling around.

Just before noon, I owned up to our secretary why I had to call and tell her I was going to be late. She got a bang out of it too. What is up with toe injuries being so funny??? When I was a child, I would laugh when Charlie (father) caught his little toe on the corner of the wall on his way to his bedroom. He did that often and e.v.e.r.y s.i.n.g.l.e t.i.m.e, I would laugh like hell.

:)

Today I finaly got to take my cpr class and am now waiting for my certifacation card to come in the mail,about 2 weeks they said.
Then I also had a two hour first day of disaster relife/first aid classes.
Then when I got home I put on a pot of chili for dinner tonight,its been a bit cool the last day or so.

Back to scootebaby
 

I know, scootie ...it is very true ... and not just our parents but anyone.

I have had one of those days where just about everything has struck me in a funny way. I laughed to myself at myself all alone in my cubicle today at work about that toe incident. But I will tell you and all jokes aside ... when I was on the floor this morning, I thought I was going to f*cking well pass out from the pain.

Yes, I got the shoes on and that is because I wore a different pair than the original intended ones. The pair I wore are a little too big. I always wear thick socks with them - they feel like soft comfy house shoes. Just what I needed today!

It is good to laugh!

See you, Buddy!

Toes and elbows....those are the ones I hate to jam into anything because they hurt sooooooooo much. I feel for you....and glad you had the bigger shoes and soft socks. Ouch.

And yes, I laughed too....I think it was the image of the red checkered boxers rolling around on the floor with the dogs looking all worried though. :cheesy:

Today began very early:

I went for an early morning walk at 4:45 am,
came home and had a wonderful cup of coffee
and attended to my pursuit of alternative employment:
I was able to add two other interviews in for tomorrow, for a total of 4.
I just got back from shopping for groceries-
I am making something totally fresaliciousa <~ (my new word of the day!): Roasted brussel sprouts (dressed in olive oil, sea salt & rosemary) to go with a garden salad made of baby spring greens & a homemade creamy balsamic dressing.
Plus, this weekend I celebrate my graduation and the beginning of
a beautiful summer, so I am off to the tanning salon to get some rays on my body and to treat myself to a pedicure and a fake trim on my curly locks!
