KLUTZ

klutz strikes again
WHAT is wrong with me this summer---i'm such a klutz. if it's not stabbing myself with loose wire and other trimmed up delicasies like weeds and rocks and glass...or knocking my knee into the trailer hitch...it's definitely come to a problem like falling out of a garden bed. this morning i was trying to jump OVER the begonias to the edge of the bed, which is on a little bit of a slope...and i guess i landed funny, and i definitely lost my balance, heard a nice little pop coming from my foot, and landed on my butt in the soggy grass. kyle heard my ankle, so i DO have a witness...i sat there for a moment...but i walked around on it the rest of the day. didn't even look at it until sitting at the shop around 6, when i peeled my sock back to reveal a nice swollen lump sticking out of the side of my foot...ew.
so, dilemma: i've never really called in sick at any job before...i think i will show up at the shop and give mike back his phone...or something like that...and then go back home to bed. :) i dunno. by the time you read this i'll have done something or other, i'll let you know.
anyways, more klutziness includes trying to walk while others are standing on my flip flops...standing up after weeding and really not having any balance at all...tripping and honestly falling over because of a few little pine cones...the list does go on. scary. i've never been so klutzy in my life. why now? would drinking more beer this summer than ever before be a factor? maybe i have a skin disease on my legs so it just looks like i get hit a lot more and a lot harder...
hhmm...well, no ideas. i will even pack a lunch tomorrow, someone at work is studying to be a nurse and can take a look at it for me. :) he'd better...and he'd better send me home, too.

meanwhile...harry potter, beautiful new beads and itching to get started...green paint, chewy double chocolate cookies, stupid distracting crushes, and this awful lull in my walk with God are all on my mind. i finished harry potter and the half blood prince (wow!!) last night and thoroughly enjoyed it...bought new beads last week but no time or energy for them (that's what all do if my ankle keeps me home tomorrow!) loving the ugly painting and baking was just so good....no comment on the crush. but i've been trying to work on my devotional life for a while now---the path to hell is paved with good intentions: i can tell God i love him till i'm blue in the face, but there's that extra effort required to actually live, walk, breathe, BE a child of his, and it's so hard to even start.

right now i will start. it's definitely late. good night
