Lashed to the desk by bruise
Have you ever had a bone bruise? It is a kind of bruising that goes deep enough that the bone itself has bruising on it. Very painful, lasts a very long time. A friend of mine had one several years back and it hung around for about a year she said.
Back last week, on the 22nd, I busted my shin on a brass horse here in the house as I was cleaning up around the fireplace and hurrying to go somewhere. (You can read that disaster in the post I made when I busted my shin.)
Anyway, here I am a full week after I busted it on that brass horse, and my shin still hurts. No, I mean HURTS. I am hobbling around, had to call nephew over to help my dad a bit, am totally useless and would KILL for coffee, but don’t want to call my nephew back to get me some – really don’t want to walk into the kitchen to get it. So, I am lashed to the desk because of the busted shin and should, one would hope, put my focus into work rather than fiddling about playing computer games… hmm.. have not played Bejewled Twist or SIMs in months… hmmm… No, I won’t revert to playing games, I will work on the novel that really does need more of a name than “co-written novel”. We’re making decent progress on that, not going to stop now.
