Purple

I had a lot of trouble staying asleep last night. My arm was aching in various places. Other parts of my body weren't happy either but the arm was the worst. When I woke up, the bruises had settled into a deeper shade of purple and joined up to create, in some places, one larger bruise. It looks like the shock to my system is wearing off and the real pain is settling in.

Despite that part, all the potential bleeding places look somewhat better. No infections yet and maybe some actual start to real healing. My head is less woozy too and that is always a good sign. So more pain, more purple, but perhaps more progress? I hate falls.

Slow Progress

I've been doing my best to keep my arm in motion. Not all the time, of course, but every few hours. Some positions are okay. Some hurt a little. A couple of positions feel like I'm being stung by a million bees.

I spent the rest of the day just being really tired. I think the shock is wearing off and the real hell of this is setting in. I'm healing, but it will be an ordeal. At least I got decent sleep. Sleep does wonders for making this better.

Quick Update

I loved how my roommate put this whole situation. He said I got into a fight with the floor and it won. That's basically the truth. The floor started it though! In the light of day, I have a better assessment of my injuries.

My right arm has several bruises on it, most of them located near the elbow. There is also a nasty cut on my elbow where the carpet ate several layers of skin. Both wrists hurt, though I assume my left wrist is hurting because of all the extra support it's having to do to compensate for my right arm's lack of strength right now.

I have several bruises on my toes and knees. My hips hurt (but they could just be wanting their usual attention, and my stomach is still jarred from all the violent movement. I'm eating but nothing tastes that great. I think my body is still kind of in shock.

The worst part is my head. I knocked my head on the floor and my nose is swollen. It may still bruise. I'm still kind of woozy and don't feel responsible enough to drive or do anything complicated/dangerous like that. Walking isn't fun. I'm having to go slowly and hold on to things so I can steady myself.

Hopefully the healing will be quick.

And Again

While trying to avoid tripping over part of the metal stripping in the kitchen, another portion of it caught my shoe and sent me tumbling down. This wasn't one of my easy falls. I landed on my right arm and the pain was almost blinding for a while. It was seriously bad. I got up from it, but my arm is killing me and I feel woozy.

So blog posts, activities, and plans for this week are all up in the air. It's just going to depend on how I recover from this.

Adventure Ron

If you follow the blog, you know that one of the things I enjoy doing in Sims is torturing Ron Weasley. In just about any new pack I get, I put Ron through it early on to see how he'll cope. He usually starts with no skills and no money because this is about how Ron Weasley would start out adult life.

When I started Jungle Adventure, I actually tried it with a Sim who had skills. She did well, but too well. She tended to always make the right decisions and how fun is that? I decided that Ron needed a go so I put him in his best Indiana Jones cosplay and handed him a sharp object. What could go wrong?

I am pleased to report that Ron is not dead. We came close a couple of times, but I've managed to keep him alive. In the meantime, however, he has been:

• stung by bees
• frightened by spiders
• electrocuted by fireflies 
• cursed
• marked for death
• poisoned 4 times
• set on fire countless times
• chased by bats
• hit by darts
• turned into a skeleton for a week
• electrocuted by traps
• soiled himself several times
• nearly starved

I can't even begin to explain to you how much fun I am having. Oh and despite all of that, Ron is successfully working his way through this jungle. 

March

March is here and it's already not fun. Allergies are up in my area while friends of mine in other places are still dealing with snow storms. Our rivers are high and nasty looking. Soon the grass will start growing and thus the cycle of mowing it. I truly hate my yard. I know other people like having them, but I get no pleasure from mine. It's just expensive and difficult.

I'm just joyous, huh?

Shipped but not Handled

At my size, especially with breasts as big as mine, bra purchases are always difficult. I can't just walk into a store and select a bra. Everything has to be ordered and even then, the selection is very limited. Admittedly, it's gotten a little better over the years, but I still have a lot of trouble.

Today I got one of those orders in. One package had NO bra in it at all. The other package had a bra 3 sizes too small for me. This was really frustrating. I realize a lot of people's orders go wrong, but I'd been looking forward to the new bras. My roommate handled the bit where you have to send it back for me. It was all a mess.

I won't be ordering from this company again. They screwed up several parts of this order and I just don't feel inclined to give them another chance. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that it's so illogical to be neglectful to a market that is basically open and in need of service. Stuff like that just always jumps on my nerves.
