"ouch!!!!"

so, tonight we were supposed to go to Disneyland with a bunch of people from work. i was very excited about this.

Stacy was on her way over to my house so we could go when disaster struck. as i was opening the door to my bedroom, my foot got in the way (bad foot!) and the door (with a metal strip running down the side of it) went over the top of my foot and the metal strip cut it pretty badly.

i didn’t feel it at first. i wasn’t looking that way, but just from the way the door felt as i pushed it open, i knew something wasn’t right. then i looked down.

mucho blood.

i knew that the shock of it would wear off pretty quickly so i took advantage of the lack of pain that i was experiencing. i started to think about whether i had any large bandages or not... just as i began to realize that i didn’t, the pain kicked in.

HOLY CRAP ON A STICK!!!! (it was painful.)

all i could come up with to stop the bleeding was wrapping my foot in paper towels and painters tape. so, that’s what i did.

and then i called Stacy and said “so... i think we’re probably not going to Disneyland, but if you could pick up some large bandages on your way over, that would be awesome!”

she was a little confused at first, but then i explained the situation and the level of pain i was experiencing. she came quickly with bandages.

we didn’t go to Disneyland.

we watched “Across the Universe” instead. (a descent but too long movie that made some obvious plot sacrifices to fit in particular songs.)

good night!
