Pain in the...well, everywhere!

It's funny, when you're injured you realize how lazy you were before the injury. The dishes you were going to wash "tomorrow", the laundry piled up upstairs that you can't even get downstairs where the machines are. The crutches help immensely, but only if I don't need to bring something back from the other room; then I'm stuck hobbling back and forth, my sciatic nerve screaming at me to just SIT DOWN! I have plenty of time to knit, but no energy to. My hands and arms are tired from using the crutches. My husband is not much help, he "doesn't see" the pile of dishes that have been sitting in the strainer for the past four days and need to be put away, he "forgets" to do the laundry or give the cat her insulin. Work was finally starting to get busy, then I had to call and cancel all my appointments this week; I was supposed to take a placement test today (I'm going back to school, which is a story for another time) but I can't drive.

All this because I sprained my ankle on a sidewalk going into a Taco Bell because they forgot part of my order at the drive-thru. But hey, they're sending me coupons!
