*sigh*
O.K., so I'm riding down the sidewalk on Jefferson Street on by bicycle, no helmet, sandals, I'm feelin FREE AND EASY. I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT THE LAW, I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT SAFETY, OH NO! And did I mention that it's RAINING? Because it is. So la-di-da, down the big, giant hill I go, feeling not concerned for the well-being of myself and others, but EXHILIRATED BY THE SPEED. The young lady in the '89 Oldsmobile saw me, and was she thinking about the law, or safety, or the fact that it was raining? Well, to be completely honest, I DON'T FREAKING KNOW WHAT EITHER OF US WERE THINKING, because she turned, I skidded, we collided, and I landed smack on my tailbone and cracked my silly head good. I HAD IT COMIN, PEOPLE! Free and easy, not thinking about tomorrow!
I had my first ambulance ride, which was uncomfortable because my tailbone really started to hurt and I was in shock and my EAR WAS BLEEDING. OH YEAH, MISSY? HOW FREE AND EASY ARE YOU FEELING NOW? They gave me a Cat Scan, even though I told them over and over again that I'm a kitty, they don't have to prove it with a silly scan. They also assailed my dignity in numerous other ways, which I'm sure I DESERVED for being such a DUMBASS.
The weird thing is that not a bit of skin broke on my body. No road burn whatsoever. I just broke a bunch of capillaries in my head apparently because I had blood in my ear and my mouth, but there were no fractures or anything serious at all. Just a concussion and a bruised tailbone. Not even a black eye or anything.
It's kind of hard to move when you have a bruised tailbone, is the thing. And last night was the opening night of the Dining Room. So my wonderful, amazing friends who I can't believe I am lucky enough to have all came around and gave me massages and rubbed tons of tiger balm on me and gave me various homeopathic remedies, and I feel as o.k. as anyone has any right to feel when they're SUCH A DUMBASS! I was able to go one and we just changed a little bit of the blocking. Like, there was this one scene where I'm crawling all over the place under this table and now I just kind of lay there. And I used to lift this huge tray of glasses and candles that weighs at least 25 pounds and now I don't. But that's really it. No other changes. I actually need to go there now, so bye!
