I offer the following as an openning gambit..... The fact that I get up today feeling for all the world like someone made a real mess of trying to cut my scrote off wth a rusty hacksaw during the night. You know the sort of pain where movement of basically any kind hurts? (like I can FEEL myself typing thisjust from the changes in balance of my wrists moving)...where you kind of Roll out of bed still curled up in whatever shape you were sleeping in and spend the fisrt 10 mins of the day doing an excellent impression of one of those "ascent of man" diagrams ...that's me now. Perhaps Miss Chapman with her mangled back knows this one.
So what is it THIS morning that my lighter rolls under my huge heavy chair. Bending AND lifting=screaming....not to mention the bare fact of getting up and sitting down...so I sit down and the mouse falls on the floor. this went on for about 10 mins of me knocking things over and hurting myself picking them up. Then I got comfy, then had to go for a piss (that's one part of my daily life that's too gruesome to discuss just now). Got comfy again.....now my arse is numb, and even the shifting of weight to stop that is gonna take 5 mins and little blasts of pain induced tourettes.
There are a billion examples of how the universe likes to torture us. The "other queue" syndrome, the keys that aren't there, until you destroy everything looking for them, when the reappear where they should have been, bank holiday weather, Paris Hilton and so on.
My wits are not exactly their usualy rapier selves just now, I'm sure funnier examples will occur to me, just need some nool-spiration.
