grumpy

I'm grumpy tonight so I'm going to keep this short. I fell down the stairs last night while carrying my cat to put him out. We have hardwood floors and I slipped and fell straight back onto my forearms and tailbone. I had a terrible nights sleep after that and have been in livid pain all day today. I can't seem to type one sentence on my computer or my phone without botching the spelling and grammar, frustrating the hell out of me. I've seen several people quote Kayne (Imma let you finish) in less than 24 hours....really? and I'm tired of Facebook telling me that one of my friends likes one of their friends (not a mutual friend, someone I don't know) photos. UGH. All I want to do is take a hot shower but I can't because I have no energy to hold myself up for more than 5 minutes at a time and I can't take a bath because of the open sore on my tailbone from where I hit the bottom step.

I just want to sleep for several days, uninterrupted, to attempt to recover and rest and get away from EVERYTHING. But that's not going to happen and that thought makes me even grumpier, THEN I see the dishes piled in the sink at 10:45pm, after this day, and that takes me from grumpier to pissed! Not only can I not take a shower, I'm doing dishes at damn near 11pm. If a stay at home wife/mom falls, or gets sick or has a migraine, she doesn't get a break. She simply has to continue to do all the domestic crap as usual while she's sore from the fall, blowing her nose or going blind in her left eye from a migraine.

So for the first time, I think I really need to provide some lemonade on here since it's been a pretty shitty day. My husband brought home my favorite meal from Panera tonight. I was craving comfort food really badly, the stress of the trauma and the pain left me feeling drained and like I'd never be cheerful again, so I thought eating something warm and savory would help recover at least that much. And it did help to boost my emotional state just a bit. I still hurt like hell, but dinner was good and I had some ice cream as well while we watched Survivor. That and the fact that my daughter for the most part played independently (ok she watched tv for a few hours), and that my fall wasn't more severe (it could have been for sure, I know I lucked out) are my lemonade's for the day.
