I started my day with a tetanus shot to the arm - and a bit of glue to patch up my head wound.
I woke up super early - like before 5 am. I knew that with two teenage girls, my son, plus T all in one home, and with one bathroom - i was going to have to fight for hot water and bathroom time. I was the first to the shower. All good. I got the hair and make up done - sweet as.
My day started to head downhill about the time that i asked my girls for advice regarding what to wear today. We all had different opinions. These differing opinions led me out to the clothesline to grab a t shirt. I grabbed the shirt and attempted to run back up the back porch, through the back door, and into the laundry to shove the shirt in the drier for a few minutes.
I only made it half way up the back porch before a piece of metal in the form of the corner of an aluminium joinery'd window made contact with the middle of my head. T heard the bang from inside the house - my head hit that bit of metal so hard. It has been a long time since i cried from physical pain. I held my head, stomped my feet, and tried to hold back tears as T parted the hair on my head and advised me that blood was pouring out and i would need stitches.
My only thought at that point in time was that i was going to miss my first lecture! I could not believe it.
The girls grabbed all their things and we dropped them at their grandmother's home - and headed to the A and E. We arrived there at 7:50am and were advised that if it was 8am we would only be charged half the price for an ACC related visit. All i could think about was getting to class - in the city from Botany Downs - by 9am. I could not wait ten minutes.
Half an hour later - with a swollen arm from the tetanus shot, and glue all through my hair from the doctor sparing me the pain of stitches and gluing my noggin back together instead - and $100 poorer (what happened to ACC covering treatment for accidents in this country?!?!) - we were on our way - stuck in the never ending traffic that is Ti Rakau Drive. T did a great job of being supportive while i was "I hate my lifing" all over the place. He was wonderful.
I made it to my first lecture - only five minutes late. That was OK. I was not the latest to arrive. I was however - the only one to arrive with a pink fringe from the blood that had spread through my bleached locks.
In the end - i had to look on the bright side. At least my day could only get better! I thoroughly enjoyed today. I LOVE Sociology.

Thanks to the young lady that posted this on my Facebook page to make me laugh!
Now T has been struck down with the man flu.
I know God will not give me anything that i can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.

When we said "knock yourself out" in regards to your study, it wasn't meant literally!!
Ya poor thing, hope it's not too sore.
I had to laugh Suz. Otherwise I would have crawled back into bed and cried!
Just glad I made it. The head is ok now - as long as I don't touch it - the arm after that shot is another story though.
