    Thumbs down Rotten Day Already

    So I wake up at 5 a.m. with a bad allergy attack, and lie awake and exhausted, unable to go back to sleep because I have to blow my nose every few seconds. Finally I get up and take a Loratidine tablet and drink some water, and around 7 I get back to sleep.


    At 7:30, my alarm goes off, but I'm so tired I oversleep. I finally drag myself out of bed around 8 and discover that I have THREE budding cold sores all over my mouth. Yay, just what I need to feel beautiful.

    So I get ready for the gym. I have an apple on the way there because I'm hungry. As I'm on the elliptical machine, the apple hits my empty stomach and I have to get off after only 25 minutes because I feel like I'm gonna throw up. So I get my stuff, buy a smoothie, and walk home, realizing I don't have time to wash my dirty hair before work since I overslept.

    I get home, and decide a sourdough roll with some peanut butter would settle my stomach. The roll is a little stale, so I get a steak knife to saw it in half and see if it would still be good to eat once toasted. The hard roll slips out of my hand, and the steak knife makes a long, deep gash about half an inch long across the side of my left index finger.

    So blood is pouring everywhere, and I discover that we're out of bandaids. I try to wash it off in the sink, but it's still pulsing gallons of blood so it just splatters the whole sink in bloody water. I've now soaked through one paper towel and half another one, and the fucker is STILL bleeding. And I'm still hungry but can't make anything to eat.

    I'm typing one-handed so I can keep my finger pinched and elevated. I really hope it stops bleeding, and I hope K got my message to buy bandaids on his way home from the gym.

    It's only 9:30 a.m. and I haven't even showered, and I'm already having a shit day. I should just go back to bed.

    It's a little better. It stopped bleeding (though it's all black under the flap where it clotted, yuck). K brought me waterproof bandaids so I can have a shower, and he washed the cut and put alcohol on it and wrapped it up for me since I couldn't do it very well one-handed. He also made me a toasted English muffin with some roasted garlic hummus, so I feel a little better, although I'm still tired and my finger still hurts.

    I'm so glad it stopped bleeding. I was really starting to worry. My kitchen looks like a charnelhouse.

    Yek, that IS a bad day. Tomorrow will be better. (Put some antibiotic cream on that cut, young lady.)

    Oh, antibiotic cream. <smacks forehead> I knew I was forgetting something, and that's what it was. I don't think we have any in the house. Well, hopefully the alcohol wash was good enough. K was kind of worried about infection since I cut it with a steak knife, but we keep our knives clean.

    Damn, now all of a sudden I'm wondering if I need a tetanus shot. I haven't had one in 15 years. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it and hopefully it'll heal up okay.

    I just looked up tetanus shot info to see if I need one, and now I'm all paranoid because this is a really deep cut and it's sealed off and clotted. And my last tetanus shot was in 8th grade, so it's been about 15 years. I better go get one. Off I go to the urgent care clinic.

    I am so not having a productive work day. *sigh*

    I went to the clinic, and it's a good thing because I also got a couple of 'scrips I've been needing (asthma inhaler and generic Allegra for my allergies). But that was my last $100, so I really need to be dancing now. But I can't dance for another few days because my finger is wrapped up in gauze and bandages so thick it looks like it's in a cast! They gave me a tetanus shot (OUCH), disinfected the cut, wrapped it up... wanted to do stitches but I didn't want them, so they taped it shut instead.

    The doc said I did scrape the bone. If the knife had been sharper, he said, I would've cut my fingertip off.

    It's REALLY hard to type now and this enormous finger is annoying.

    Duly noted! I picked up a steak knife to cut a soft, flat piece of bread for lunch, and I was so ridiculously cautious with it. K thinks it's all because I used a steak knife on the roll instead of the bread knife. I dunno, seems like a rock-hard stale round roll would've slipped out from under the bread knife, too.

    Anyway it looks like he's gonna have to wash my hair tonight, since I have to keep my finger totally dry. Heh. I bet he'll LOVE that.

    I can't beleive the luck or lack thereof that your having. I wrote about a bad day I had and now I feel bad for complaining, it was nothing compared to yours.

    Things have to get better for you soon!!!!

    I know, right? I seriously have the worst luck out of anyone I know. I can't help laughing at this point; I'm not even upset. It's reached such a ridiculous proportion, it's just funny now.

    No, not at the moment! Ever since we took him to the vet and fixed his allergies, he's been lovely. No inappropriate dumps, no yak. Now he's feeling better so he just wants to play, cuddle, and eat all day, and he yells at me until he gets what he wants. So yeah, a healthy kitty is something I can be very happy about!
