I think I’ll remember my own LIFE

I’ve been busy since Thursday.  I hung out with L and her kids on Friday.  Then I hung out with the other L later in the day and she asked me to be her maid of honor which is exciting and slightly stressful at the same time since she lives in NEW JERSEY and I live in VIRGINIA.  Not the easiest way to plan showers and other things like that, but I’m still happy she asked me.  Then, after hanging out with L, I drove down to DE and hung out with J and JP.  But…they’re kind of boring so I didn’t really do a lot there that night.  (hehe…love you J)

Then, Saturday, I woke up at 6 to take Oscar out and to go for a quick run before spending all day painting J’s house.  And I fell down the stairs.  Literally.  I missed the last few steps and landed directly on my knee.  And I was loud!  And I sat at the bottom of the stairs, kind of dazed, looking up waiting for someone to come see if I was alright.  But nobody came.  The only “things” that noticed I wasn’t moving were Oscar and Nellie.  And Nellie just looked at me like I was retarded and Oscar just started nudging me along so I would let him outside. So…I dragged my ass up and went on along.

However, my knee STILL hurts.  It’s weird.  There’s no bruising or swelling…but seriously…every time I bend my knee a sharp shooting pain goes through it.  So not a fan. 

After falling the down the stairs and hurting my knee I decided NOT to run.  Instead I went back to bed and woke up an hour or so later and went and helped J and JP paint their new house.  I’m still not sure why I’m such a klutz.  While painting, I managed to fall into a freshly primed wall and got the ass of my pants and the bottom of my shirt white.  While painting the ceiling, the sponge part of the roller was working it’s way off the actual roller and dripped paint all down the side of my face and in my hair.  It also just sprayed white paint all over my face.  I looked like I had a bunch of white freckles.  I did a bunch of other stupid things…but those were the main stupid ones. 

I ended up feeling horribly sick that night (super stuffy nose and sore throat).  I assumed it was just bad allergies (I’m super allergic to Nellie), but I’m still feeling that way now…so I’m thinking maybe it’s actually a cold. 

Yesterday, I planned to go running, but I ended up getting this horrible migraine from the sinus pressure that I got home from work around 5:30 and went into my room, turned off the lights, and layed in bed until 5 this morning.  I was miserable. 

I feel slightly better today, but I’m so stuffed up it’s ridiculous.  I am having such issues breathing.  I felt exhausted just walking from my car to the front gate of work. 

This is not boding too well for my lovely 8K I have this Saturday.  I’m going to run an easy 3 mile run tomorrow…and then just rest up for Saturday.  I guess we’ll see how that goes.  I just hope my knee holds up!  I figured if I still feel this shitty on Saturday, I’ll probably just walk the race with K and A. 

Anyways, sucks that vacation is over already…I apparently need another one just to recover from the end of this one!
