hump day fun

Hey folks!<br><br>
So I made a joke yesterday in the cruise thread about being off balance and falling and I think the karma gods heard me. Walking out to my car last night I fell right on my rump! I was parrked in the first spot, next to a no stopping area so it was all painted up. The painted area was slick, I went down hard! Now, thankfully, I have some extra cushioning in the rump area so I thought I was fine. But apparently when I put my hand down to break my fall my finger curled under. Yep, I am pretty sure it is broken! Nice, huh? I of course had to stop at the gym anyway, got in an hour bike ride, came home and laid down and was done for the night. I think I was just anxious cause I was feeling sore and sick to my tummy all night. I am sure Baby Beaker is fine cause he participated in his usual nightime acrobatic routine last night but might call my doc today just to make sure!<br><br>
So that was my night. Still can't move my finger today and still feel like crap!! But yet I am at work. Why? Because the guilt trip you get these days for being out is way worse than suffering through a day in the lab sick. I am so ready for maternity leave to start...is it April 1 yet?!<br><br>
Sorry for my salty mood. Hope you are all fairing better!

'morning everyone.<br><br>
Hey Moe? I dreamed about Penny last night! Seriously. I have no recollection as to what else was going on the dream, but I specifically thinking "hey.. there's Moe's dog!" calling penny "Penny-girl", and her being very happy with receiving the pets and scratchings that I was lavishly giving her! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
I got nuffin of real interest going on today, other than heading to the post office to send off a care package to my Army pen-pal, Stephanie. From our conversation the other week, I put together a fairly big candy mix, and put it all in a huge ziplock bag for her. (butterscotch, mints, other misc hard candies, dumdum pops, and pixy stix!). When we talked about how mail worked on her side, she mentioned that although everyone gets excited over mail, sometimes it apparently comes so infrequently, that it's not unusual for someone to open a letter and read it out loud, effectively 'sharing' the news from home, with their fellow platoon/group mates listening in, like children listenening to an adult reading a book to them.<br><br>
Stephanie mentioned one individual who either gets super excited over everyone's mail, or he doesn't get mail addressed to him very often. (or both) So, just for him, I put a small amount of candy in a separate ziplock bag with his name on it, with a little note inside. Neither he or Stephanie know it's coming. I figure it might be the same effect as a kid getting an unexpected toy on Christmas. At least, that's the reaction I hope it gets. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
