@DobieLover twice??? If they're was a way to add insult to injury, I think that's it!

Morning Cafe.
My sinus infection and traveled south into my lungs. Joy.
Just to add to my misery, I'm off to the DMV to get that non-driver photo ID for DH. I can barely keep my feet from dancing.

You be careful you don't overdo that enthusiasm DL.

Good morning, Café, good luck DL, and thanks all.



China



My injury involved a zipper - 'nough said.

Really? I had one of those and I've still got the scar.

I'm a walking disaster. It would take me all day to list the dumb things I've done to damage myself. The last thing was a few months ago when I slammed my foot in the car door. I was sure I broke it. The doctor sent me in for xrays & said, "Lets hope its not broken because that's not a story you want to have to tell people." The foot was not broken. Deep bruises & damaged ligaments that still hurt months later.

Sour, 3 of my nieces were born in China & adopted to a white American family. I don't know if the area they live in is more tolerant, but to my knowledge they've been very lucky avoiding any racist issues. Having lived in one of the worlds biggest melting pots my entire life, that kind of crap is flat out inconceivable to me.

I heard you stepped on a water bottle and broke your leg.

Nope, that was plywood and it kept sliding until it hit a base board on my pens. It stopped, I didn't! Went flying through the air for about ten feet, landing on my hip, right up next to the pen! Laid there for about 15 minutes to let the pain subside, then got up and walked back to the house. Knew fully well it was broke or at the very least cracked but went in to town to get an x-ray done at an Urgent Care office. No x-ray tech on duty, so went back home and returned the next morning. They x-rayed it, thought it "might" be broken. Sent me over across the street to the hospital. They did a CT scan and said "yep, it's busted"
Couldn't go in surgery because I needed to make arrangements for someone to look after my birds and animals....they thought I was crazy because I wasn't going to have surgery immediately! but I couldn't for the above reasons. They even had an on staff shrink come in and talk to me, to see if I was of right frame of mind!
Anyway, a week and half later after fracturing my hip, I walked into the hospital, again, to have the surgery.

A couple arrived to look at the chicks this afternoon. I gave them a tour.
They say they want the chicks and are prepared to wait. They asked to come up again at roost time. Good idea. They can see what they're letting themselves in for.

You are a tough nut!

It was the same cabinet, second drawer. Same spot on my head! I have a knack for these things.

Put the emphasis on the word 'nut'.

I think I just pulled a muscle coughing. Does that count?
