- E ate a Tootsie Pop for breakfast on Saturday morning.
- On Sunday, I sat down on an old chair.
- It shattered.
- My foot hit the underside of the table when I fell.
- I broke my toe.
- I spent an hour in the ER getting wheeled around, x-rayed, and set up with crutches and a boot.
- The doctor demonstrated how the human foot moves by running his hand up and down my thigh.
- The nurse was the same nurse who I thought was kidnapping E from the nursery when I was in the maternity ward 2 years ago. I told him that and recounted me stumbling through the nursery door at 4am and demanding, "What's going on!?"
- He said, "I'll never forget that..."
- He came out into the waiting room to see how big E had grown.
- I came home to plan how I would survive the next 4-6 weeks healing with a toddler.
- E read me Hooper Humperdink three times and kept asking, "You okay, Mommy?"
- To accompany my broken toe, I have a lovely case of strep throat.
- I woke up at 2:30am with the worst earache I've ever had in my life.
- Though the earache pain subsided, it sounds like I'm in a tin can, and music sounds particularly sharp. Or flat. It's hard to tell.
- Mark sneakily crept into E's room to find me my heating pad that was in storage.
- I fell asleep on it, crying, while Mark ran his fingers through my hair.
- I woke up to a burning face.
- I hobbled to the kitchen 3 times in the last 4 hours to eat cereal.
- I stepped on a Kix, and as it exploded, I thought I had re-broken my toe from the sound of the crunch.
- I watched the entire season of Master Chef Junior. Go Alexander!
- E keeps recounting my fall in detail, "Mommy, that chair break on you? You fall down! You hurt yer toe?!" "Yes, let's keep this little incident to ourselves, shall we?"
- I was so bored from sitting all day that I downloaded the Smule Karaoke app -- where you sing karaoke solos or duets with others from around the world, recording them with your iPhone.
- I attempted my first recorded duet.
- I coughed repeatedly and cleared my throat loudly (HACK, COUGH, GAGGGG) before the music started.
- The app was already recording...
- The irony: At the end of the song, my teammate said, "Excuse my voice, I have a cold."
- I read an entire True Crime book and now want a bolt lock and chain for our door.
- Mark set me up to work from home today by running an extension cord from one side of the living room to the other.
- I promised him I wouldn't trip over it.
- First thing this morning, I stepped over it, onto a baby blanket, and slid across the living room.
- I yelled, "Whoa there. Whoa. Whoaaaa!!"
- And, last but not least, I flew to Paris, ate a lovely slice of Brie paired with some decadent fruit spreads and perfectly aged wine, and rounded out my weekend by living out my dream of being a street mime beneath the twinkling lights of the Eiffel tower at sunset.
Blissful.
