Morning Injury
Jan. 20th, 2003 12:32 pmYesterday (not today) I woke up feeling really tired, and curled up naked on the couch to wait until I was awake enough to risk taking a shower. I do this a lot -- being on the couch lets me doze a little, but I can't actually fall asleep like I might if I went back to bed. The naked part is just gratuitous, though.
Anyway, I dozed for a bit too long -- maybe forty minutes (!) -- and my leg fell asleep. The thing with the whole leg falling asleep is that it doesn't feel obviously tingly or numb like a foot falling asleep would... in fact, it feels perfectly normal until you try to stand on it and it just buckles instead of supporting your weight.
Fortunately, I'm kind of used to falling over like that, so the only thing I hurt was my little toe. It still hurts -- I think I sprained it or something, maybe. But I don't really need to ever use it for anything, so like, whatever.
This morning I felt awake and fine, so I didn't need to do any of that crap, and finished my shower with enough time to get into work an hour early. Ugh. Like, yeah, right.
So I updated some character sheets and went online and checked e-mail to waste the extra time. You know, if I can get up that early consistently, I might be able to start actually eating breakfast or something...
Nah!
