After a pretty crappy day, driving all over with an ankle in an air cast that doesn't fit right, grocery shopping (hobble hobble hobble), and then my $130 sunglassess break (lens popped right out, lost a screw) and I'm extremely light sensitive ; I stop at the post office (which is open for once when I can actually stop at it) and gather my mail. Drive home from there haul the bags up 2 flights, put it all away myself (hobble hobble hobble) I finally sit down.
