Live your best life

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and
refinement rather fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich;
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and
buds, to babes and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never...this
is my symphony-William Henry Channing

Silly me!!


Yesterday (after trying to call you) I decided to pack for our long weekend trip to France this Friday, to visit my brother in law. Half way through that I was distracted by my rumbling tummy so I went down to the kitchen to start fixing myself some lunch. I opened my kitchen cabinet door to take a saucepan out to boil a couple of eggs for my egg sandwich and then everything was quite a blur after that as all of it happened in a split second !! I felt a thud on the top of my left foot and looked down and a pyrex dish was in pieces on top of it. I could also see a deep laceration and there and then I thought "oh no I need a plaster now !" I then stepped back to get one and immediately felt a sharp pain on the bottom of my other foot, looked at it and saw a small piece of glass poking out of it and thought " *# + !!" . Pulled that out and it started bleeding! By this time the deep cut on my other foot was bleeding quite a bit too !! Then I said "Sh#*!! Not now!" thinking I have got a plane to catch in about 4 days time! Then I rang Robert at work to tell what had happened and he suggested that I get an ambulance while he was driving back home. The ambulance got here very quickly and I was then taken up to the A & E of the local hospital with my foot temporarily bandaged. Robert met me there and it was not until about 2 1/2 half hours later that I was seen. Came home with a bandaged sore foot and sore arm (!!) as I had to have a tetanus injection for the cut and still no lunch yet (that includes Robert too !) LOL !

Anyway, we had a chinese take away for dinner instead so that cured our hunger straightaway. My foot was quite sore last night in bed but I am glad that this morning it's beginning to feel a lot better and hopefully it will heal up by the time I get to the airport on Friday! However I don't think I can test their new swimming pool though :( !! which would be a real shame as I was really looking forward to that. Still I am not going to complain considering how bad it could have gone the other way!

poor feet!!! please be careful, my dear...
i can feel the pain when you described it, you have a good rest and not to stress out till your wound healed.

I'm clearing my photo, thought of putting it up last sunday but I was exhausted, followed by an MC on tuesday, I felt better today.Looks like we both woke up on the wrong side of bed!

Thanks - my foot is a lot better but I was suffering quite badly from the effects of the tetanus jab!! Felt like I had a very bad flu !! Luckily feeling much better today especially now that we have been to the clinic and the nurse had a look at the wound and said that I can swim if I want to!!

Did you have a fever then?
