Taking It On The Chin.
Hey Folks,
.
Is your weekend progressing well.
Are you having the time of your life!
.
Well, if so, I am pleased that one of us is having fun, because my life has turned to shit again.
Unfortunately I have broken down once more, like a well used toy.
.
Last night I went to the kitchen, in the middle of a blockbuster film, to make us a treat.
It was porridge and cold water, with sultanas, blueberries, sliced bananas and a fine topping of thick live yogurt.
Very very yummy indeed.
.
Unfortunately, I then made a stupid mistake.
.
As my hands were full on the way out of the room, I turned off the kitchen light by sticking out my chin to hit the wall switch.
Something in the back of my neck moved and was painful for a moment.
The damage was done.
.
As the evening progressed, it grew even worse and even more painful to move my head.
.
Later, I delayed going to bed until 2.30, to try and ensure a quick transition to sleep, but it was fruitless.
.
After lying there as straight as I could for hours, wide awake, with the pillow folded carefully to support my neck….I finally gave in and got up once more …. into a cold and pitch-black dawn.
.
I ended up wrapped in a big quilt, sitting in a recliner in the living room, drinking a big pot of workman’s tea as a consolation prize.
.
It actually could have been worse, because I decided to watch a film called Twilight, which I recorded ages ago.
And I really enjoyed it!
What a pretty boy the star is, no wonder all of the young fans adore him and the idea of vampires in general.
.
Anyway, as this is the second time that I have had this particular problem within a couple of months, I had better start being more sensible about what I do.
In future I shall try to remember to use my finger instead of my chin ….and no more careless self-abuse for me.
.
And please do have a pain free one yourself!!
