Genetics

Because of my grandparents' genes, I, and my children, tend to be clumsy. My family members would say that I came by this trait honestly.

Miraculously, I've never broken a bone or had to have stitches that weren't associated with surgery. The two or three concussions I've had weren't too bad, and I survived all car wrecks without any real damage. I still do really dumb things, though. (Tangent: the fact that I can't remember exactly how many concussions I have had is a side effect.)

This past Saturday, I was feeling exhausted and frustrated. I made my way into the living room, and for dramatic effect (ha ha), I collapsed backwards onto our ottoman. It would have had great effect on my husband's tirade in progress then, if he were watching. Instead, I kind of smashed my head against one of the supports for the sofa. In doing so, I found out that those supports are really, really hard. The end result of this act is that my head hurts, especially behind my left ear. Hopefully, I'm not screwing up anything too badly at work today.

Yesterday was sort of hazy for me. Sometime in the afternoon I fell asleep on the sofa with my daughter. Waking up late in the evening, then cooking, and spending time with a friend and my husband, totally screwed up my schedule. I fell asleep for good sometime around 1 am. I woke up around 7:15. I'm tired, and therefore have more little bits of nonsense floating around in my head than usual. Bear with me.
