Dreams, Glitter and Tears

Today has been a crazy day to say the least. Laura and I had tandem appointments and I was pulled over on the way. I was ticketed for my inspection sticker not being current. The appointment went well, aside from Steve double-booking. On the way home, I was pulled over again...for my inspection sticker. yeesh. The cop was nice and let me off the hook since I was just ticketed.

I got home and called James to warn him that the cops were out with a vengeance and to tell him I was pulled over and ticketed. Of course this meant no more driving my car so I was going to have to walk to get Kay, London and James from school. Exhausted for no good reason, I took a nap and James woke me when he came home early. He dropped me off at the school on his way to get a code reader to find out why my check engine light is on. (I can't pass inspection until we get that light off.) I brought my skates and stayed for Kays choir practice.

On the way home, I fell. First fall since I got my skates. I was going up a ramp and the kids stopped in front of me so I started to roll backward. I didn't recover and both legs went out at the same time. I landed kinda leaned backward and really nailed my tailbone hard. No more skating. I did make it a half mile though!! I walked the rest of the way home with my butt hurting a LOT. I've turned into a giant sissy because I must've moaned about my hind about 100 times on the way home. Eventually I stopped saying "butt" and moved on to "Donkey" because it's better than "Ass" Besides, James would fall on the playground and groan "Oh, my ass!!" and I know it. So my donkey hurts. It hurts to raise my voice, clear my throat or laugh, sit, stand, lay... it just sucks. I write this with an icepack on my bum and it feels a bit better. I hope I didn't crack it or something. I think I just bruised it good.

Ow. my donkey.
