My Own Worst Enemy

[amberfocus]

I'm starting to think it would be wiser if I didn't even get up in the morning. In the last week or so I have managed to step on a carpenter's staple and leave a nice little puncture in my heel, slice my hand open on a rusty screen in the most inconvenient spot ever if I want to open any jar where the lid screws on or off, and hurt my eyelid so badly that it is swollen to the point where I can't open it except directly after I've had ice on it or if I can open it, it starts shutting out of self-defense because it doesn't want to be open. My arm hurts from my tetanus shot and I just stubbed my toe so badly I broke off part of the nail. I am glad I don't need to see to type and only need one eye to proofread. It is just not my week. Though my glasses do hold a single baggy and tissue wrapped ice cube in place perfectly.

I haven't had such a big case of the clumsies in ages. I mean, I know I am prone to being a klutz, I did, after all, make them take up my wedding dress two extra inches so I would not trip on it going up the aisle, but still. I haven't had a week like this for a long time. I am so glad DH gets home tomorrow. I couldn't drive today after taking my daughter to high school at 7. The eye started swelling shortly thereafter and I did not want to try to drive with no depth perception, especially in the kind of traffic there is when I take my son to school at 9. Thank goodness for my mother.

Oh, you poor thing! :( :( :( Take care of yourself and hope all of your injuries and ailments are much, much better soon! *hugs*

I've had days like that, when I'm just not competent to do anything without guidance. One day, in rapid succession, I spilled shredded cheese all over the floor, coffee beans all over the counter, and popcorn all over the counter and floor. At that point, I refused to have anything more to do with food for the day. I generally manage to avoid injuring myself, fortunately, but no one else is safe.

I'm so sorry. I've had weeks like that and they suck big time. I'll send you good thoughts and prayers. ((Hugs))

You poor baby. I hope next week is better for you.

Sending you a virtual hug. {} Take good care of yourself, and pamper yourself a little, because you certainly need it. Schedule a little time just for you, sweetie.

Sending hugs and anti-clumsy pills. Which I have in abundance just for times like this!

I hate times like that, like your brain is not firing on all cylinders. I recently had a week like that: kept dropping things, couldn't think straight, kept making stupid mistakes and having stupid injuries. It's horribly embarrassing, and the more you try to correct things, the worse they get.

Here's hoping that Klutz Week is over for you, and life will return to normal. :)

I am so sorry you are having such a tough time of it. Hopefully your rough patch is over.

Take care of you!

Ouch. Hopefully the worst is over, and next week will be better. （＾▽＾）ｖ

oh dear, hope you feel better soon love.

it's weird though, because I had a very similar day just two days ago, although I was damaging things around me, instead of myself, which might have been messy but was certainly less painful

*hugs* that doesn't sound like a good week at all. I hope this one is better.
