3 weeks in...almost

I'm considering installing wheels on my laundry basket.  Cause carrying it with my one left arm just isn't gonna work.  I expected this, but I already put off doing laundry for 3 weeks so I was in dire need of clean clothes.  I successfully dragged the basket to the elevator.  When the elevator hit the laundry floor, the bottom of the elevator didn't match up with the floor, so you had to take a small step up to get out.  Well naturally, I didn't notice.  So when I tried to drag the basket out of the elevator, it got stuck and tipped over. No, it didn't completely tip over, but it fell enough to where some underwear totally fell off the top.  And yes, there was a semi-attractive guy standing right there.  Awkward.  So, super, awkward.  Good thing he was only semi-attractive.  And he was wearing jorts, so he instantly lost any cool points.  Regardless, it was embarrassing.

Since most people I encounter (even the cashiers at Safeway) ask what happened to me, I'm trying to get creative with my explanations of what happened.   The only thing I have been able to come up with is that I got into a fight with some girl at the bar.  A few people have believed me, but it turns out that I'm not the liar I used to be in high school.  Not that I lied to my friends in high school or made stuff up...I just lied to the 'rents a lot.  Don't worry- I'm sure they now by now that I didn't actually go see a movie every single night of every single weekend in high school.  If either of them says this is news, they are lying.  Anyhow, why don't people believe that I got into a cat fight?  I mean, I did learn a few things at White Station that would be useful in that situation.  Whenever you saw a chunk of weave on the hallway floor, you knew something interesting recently went down.

I heard yet another story from my friend who broke his scaphoid several years ago.  He was only in a cast for 7 months, as opposed to the last guy who said 9 months.  Hey, with that time line, I would be out of this thing before 2011 rolls around. Sweet.  Things sure are lookin' up.

Countdown to tentative cast removal: 19 days down, 65 days to go.
