falling, spending, soaking

posted by [personal profile] laylee at 10:16pm on 03/12/2005 under ,
I was going to buy a new toaster today. Instead I bought some seedlings and fetiliser, groceries, and some fairy lights to make my flat look festive. I also put two bras, two pairs of socks and a pair of sleep pants on layby at Kmart because they had 20% off women's underwear, sleepwear, socks and hosiery.

Now I have no money. But both bras do wonders for my cleavage!

I fell off my bike last night while I was riding through the city in the rain. My wheel got caught in a tram track and down I went. Fortunately the taxi right behind me was only crawling so I didn't get squished as well, but now my arms hurt, I have bruises on my left thigh and on both knees, and I tore my left thumb nail down to the quick.

And did I mention that the rain was bucketing down?

I was completely drenched and my sneakers were so saturated that I don't think they'll dry for days. That puts me into a bit of a bind because they're my gym sneakers, and if I can't wear them I can't go to gym. I have another pair of sneakers, but they're more of a fashion type sneaker and not suitable to wear to gym. Not enough arch support. Tomorrow we're supposed to get to 29c, so I'll stick them in the sun and see what happens. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

*sigh*

Think I'll watch some Sports Night and eat chocolate. They never let me down.
Mood:: 'sore' sore

The travel pixies really are not smiling on you at the moment. Bastards. I would say 'be careful', but (a) I'm sure you are and (b) it's the rest of them out there I need to say it to. Maybe if I shout?

I've never had a toaster, I make my own bread and it's too chunky. I make toast under the grill and survive just fine. In fact, I'm off to do just that.

I'm beginning to suspect that I should spend what's left of the year at home and avoid all forms of wheeled transport. Certainly impractical but much better for my general well-being.

My grill is dodgy as, so I hardly ever use it. I don't know what I'd do if I ever got it into my head to make creme brulee.

You could get one of those little hand-held flame-throwers, and thanks for sending me off to bed dreaming of creme brulee, which is not something that's readily to hand!

I've done a first run through 'Evening the Keel', but I'll go through again tomorrow, I've been really tired all day and I may have missed some stuff.

With my current run of luck, I'd probably set myself on fire :~|

Sorry about your accident. *hugs* At least the taxi didn't get you this time.

Maybe putting newspaper in your sneakers would help them dry faster. Somebody who works in a store where they sell running shoes told me about that - I tried it on my son's shoes when he got them soaked and it seemed to help.

I tried the newspaper thing and it helped alot. But you should have seen how wet the first lot I stuffed them with was when I pulled it out.

Ouch! You've had quite a bad time with transportation lately. (I really should get back to work on that teleportation device, so you could use that. . . . )

A teleportation device. That's exactly what I need!
