I Can't Complain

Things That Make Me Happy

A few things that make me happy:

Fitting into my skinny pants, and having them be *just* a little loose.  I'm going to be so bummed when the breastfeeding diet is over and I have stop eating everything in sight.  And possibly get up off my lazy butt and do some exercise.

Moleskin.  What a great invention! I don't know why it's called moleskin, because the stuff I have isn't made of the skin of a mole (as far as I can tell), but even with the silly name, it's a life saver.  I have these shoes on today:

and the peep part, which is very stiff, was cutting into my big toes.  A little moleskin, and - *poof* - no more sore toes.

The Colorful Tabs extension for Firefox.  It makes my browser pretty, and it's far more amusing than I suspected it would be. I have it set to choose the tab color by URL, and I get a kick out of moving from site to site and watching the colors change.  The tab for this post is lime green, by the way, which pleases me inordinately.

My husband. Yesterday I was complaining to him about my epic battle with the giant spiderweb that forms between the holly bush and my driver's side door every day.  This morning I came out to my car to find that he'd already gotten rid of the spiderweb for me! Isn't he sweet? :)

What a Pain in the Ass

Literally...  Saturday morning I was coming down the stairs when I slipped on something - either a slippery spot on the floor or a slippery thing on my shoe - and fell down the top five stairs on my staircase.  Luckily, there's a landing, so I didn't go all the way down, but I banged myself up pretty badly.  I hurt my right wrist trying to catch the banister to break my fall, hurt my left elbow where it connected with several stairs, and really hurt my tailbone.  I was pretty achy all weekend, and sitting in Larry's car was fairly uncomfortable, but to be honest I didn't realize HOW badly I'd hurt myself until I tried to drive to work today in my stick shift car.  Not only is Ringo's driver's seat INCREDIBLY unforgiving, but pushing the clutch in moves just the muscles (bones? tendons? whatever...) that hurt.  And we won't even discuss how uncomfortable my office chair is. 

Hopefully the NSAID I just took will kick and relieve some of the pain, but right now going home and lying face down on the bed for a couple of hours is looking pretty good.
