gogmagogGODDAMMIT WINTER I HATE YOU
I slipped on the ice coming home from my German class this evening (we had a test, bleah) and I think I wrenched my arm or something; it fucking hurts. ;_;
See, I wasn't joking when I said I averaged a fall per day; there was no hyperbole in that statement, I literally fall on the ice every single day it's like this! (It's because the folks on the various sides of my block tend to suck at getting their sidewalks clear of snow, and then it melts and refreezes.) And given that we've had this kind of ice on the ground for like two weeks, I'm getting damn tired of falling; my palm still hasn't healed from where I scraped the fuck out of it when I fell on Thursday (I've been putting Neosporin on it daily, but I'm afraid it's gonna scar). D:
...and now I have to do Old Norse and I just wanna take an Aleve and watch Doctor Who. On the plus side, maybe we'll get our now-customary Tuesday blizzard and Old Norse will be cancelled? Seriously, we've got so much snow on the ground right now; on my block they've piled the snow they've cleared off the sidewalks on the median between the sidewalk and the street, and it's considerably over my head (I'm ~5'8"). That's a lot of snow.

Date: 2008-02-12 04:28 am (UTC)One of the nice things about living in the neighborhood that we do is that pretty much every house is owned by the same company and they shovel and salt the walks for us. And then after two blocks, I'm at school. Though I have slipped a couple times on some mud (one of those stretches of sidewalk that is always always always covered in mud).
I hope your shoulder is OK!

Date: 2008-02-12 01:50 pm (UTC)That is nice! Oddly enough both the best and the worst snow-care on my block are by large companies; one is amazing at keeping the sidewalks as clear as possible, and the other can barely be bothered to even clear their sidewalk (part of that may be that it's uphill, so I imagine it's harder to use snowplows, but that just makes it more important to keep it clear - ice is bad enough, but ice uphill is the worst!).
It's feeling sorer this morning but nevertheless a little better; now it only twinges when I raise my arm more than a bit, as opposed to every time I move it.
