.:reflections of twilight:.

This weekend was fairly uneventful... except for me smashing my toe. The tale is as follows:

Saturday afternoon I was fixing myself some lunch and I went to open the freezer door to fetch some ice to chill my drink. I was successful in getting said ice, but I had to shift a few things in order to get to the ice container. My mother often fixes herself a batch of vegetable soup and freezes it in microwavable containers to take in her lunch. One of these containers took it upon itself to commit suicide and fling itself out of the freezer. Unfortunately instead of landing on the floor with a satisfying crash, it landed on my left pinkie toe with a not so satisfying crunch. If I were the type to swear, it most assuredly would've sprung forth that moment.

So I finished eating my lunch, hobbling back to my cave-like room in order to do so. Afterwards, I iced my toe and prayed it wasn't fractured. Turns out it wasn't, just badly bruised and swollen.

Soooo, needless to say, this whole incident has made getting around very interesting to say the least. Unshod I do alright, however where shoes are concerned is another matter. I think I should be healed in another few days, God willing.

This week is also my annual colonoscopy. Joy. The procedure itself isn't so bad... it's the prep. The Jug o' Nasty^TM that I have to drink in order to cleanse myself. Ugh. A day full of eating nothing but clear liquids isn't a laugh riot either. But, it's important and it's only once a year, so I can grin and bear it if I can...

I bought the first season of The Big Bang Theory at Wal-Mart this weekend. It's such a great show...

Well, that's all for now. Signing off.
