Oct. 22nd, 2007 10:12 pmWhen I woke up this morning, I really didn't want to get out of bed. Maybe the rain, maybe Monday with all it entailed, maybe just not wanting to leave my sweetie, but getting up was difficult. I like cool, grey rainy mornings; maybe I just wanted to open the windows and revel in it. Instead, I got ready for work.
After I checked the traffic, I turned my computer off and went to leave the room. It was dark still, but that's not really a problem. I move through our house with a sort of somatispatial memory, so I didn't even wait for my eyes to adjust. Today, that wasn't wise. I caught my foot on a cat toy (a big plastic ring with a ball trapped inside), and was afraid to put my foot down suddenly for fear of there being a cat nearby. Instead, I pitched forward and caught the door jamb in a clean line across my forehead, right eye and cheek, hitting so hard I knocked my glasses off and snapped back. Luckily, fairyhead hadn't left for work yet, and the thump and my loud profanity got her attention. With her assistance, we found my glasses just before I put my foot down on them. I remember thinking, 'Wow, it's a good thing I don't bruise easily.'
Now, my headache is mostly faded, my eye feels less sore (irritated/swollen), but I've got a small, but visible, knot just under my eyebrow, and my teeth are a little sore from clacking together. I'm curious to see what it all looks like tomorrow morning, but even more so as the week progresses, since deep bruises take several days to come up on me.
Whee, Monday.
