Though, granted, I can't type too well at the moment.
I will, however, catch up on blogging at some point fairly soon.

I gave blood yesterday afternoon because... well, because that's what I do. If there's a blood drive, I'm a groupie. Hey - it's for a good cause.
In retrospect, I should have eaten first... but I hadn't scheduled that into my "day off."
I passed out as they were finishing me up. Yeah, I was the crazy lady laying upside down in a gurney with a wet paper towel on my forehead in the middle of the student center...
I felt better - I had to! - and I went to get all the stuff for the Brownie meeting that afternoon at Alex's school. There were groceries and oodles of papers because we were preparing dinner for the girls' parents and then having a quick meeting for them to let them know what's going on with our troop for the fall.
Coordinating ten 7,8, and 9 year old girls to make a dinner and all feel included was not as simple as I'd thought it would be. It went off well, though. I was a little dizzy still from the fainting, but not too bad. I even got to eat about half a cup of baked ziti once everyone else was served (busy busy busy). We had a quick ceremony for the parents, then the meeting with the paperwork.
Cleanup was pretty simple and everyone was out pretty early. I had to carry out all the filled out forms back to my car, as well as various other papers. It was while I was lugging all that outside ...
Did I mention that I was wearing my usual non-Starbucks footwear that consist of approximately 3" heeled sandals?
I stepped weirdly, twisted an ankle, fell over, and put my right hand out to catch myself.
I now have a fractured wrist, a big bruise on my knee, and another humongous bruise across my hip.
I feel foolish, but I'm okay. The timing just stinks because we're trying to move next weekend which means I need to pack!
