Yes, I'm whining. I have a good reason though. I'm sitting on the couch with my feet up. Luke's been bringing me food and drink. He did the dishes for me. He drove me around wherever I needed to go today. I didn't have to cook dinner.
Can you believe it?! Doesn't that evoke feelings of sympathy from you? Oh wait, did I neglect to mention the reason for all this? I broke my foot. I've got my feet up 'cause the doctor told me too. I've got a splint on and crutches next to me in case I need to go anywhere. All the driving around Luke did today was taking me to the doctor and then the hospital where he got to wheel me around in a wheelchair from one department to the next. It was loads of fun.
So this all came about when I was dashing into the street to grab Lily before she defiantly ran out in front of yet another car. No, no, wait it was when I was coming out of the bank and noticed a man in a mask walking in and I tripped him while alerting the security guard to the threat. Or no, it was when I was sky-diving and my parachute didn't open soon enough and I landed too hard. It was really scary.
Well, all right, none of that stuff actually happened but those stories are soooo much better than what actually happened. It happened when I stepped out of my front door. We can't even walk out the door anymore without taking life and limb in our hands! What is this world coming to I ask you?!
Yes, I stepped out the door onto the edge of the mat and my foot rolled right under me. It hurt. A lot. And I collapsed in a pile on the front porch whimpering. And now I can't do too much for myself. It's just silly.
So that's my sad story. Thanks for letting me cry on your shoulder.
