The day before yesterday the skies of Lubbock poured forth an entire year's worth of rain, through which I rode my bikey to and around school. Early in the morning I wiped out as I braked to avoid a couple of girls walking in front of me (I had called, 'Excuse me!', aber natürlich haben sie mich nicht gehört), scraping the side of one knee and severely bruising both shins. It looks like someone Nancy Kerrigan-ed me.
Last night as I walked around at work, the humongous bruise above my right ankle apparently erupted, with blood flowing into my foot and gathering in a fascinating purplish mass. These discolorations will remain present in both legs for several weeks, as my bruises tend not to heal quickly. I am a delicate lily.
