Shin Splints
I went kind of quiet here last weekend, and I don’t know why I didn’t mention what happened. Not much to tell. I hurt my ankle mysteriously. I’m not sure exactly what happened - whatever I did, it didn’t hurt at the time - but when I woke up on Saturday morning, I couldn’t put any weight on my right foot without significant discomfort (i.e. it hurt like hell). So I spent all day Saturday at work in the stockroom stickering stuff, with my foot evelated on a crate. Olan even went to the chemist for me to get an ankle support. He rocks. It’s better now, well getting better anyway (I can walk fast on it, but can’t run too good).
Today at work was shitty. I felt really out of step all day, I just wasn’t really there. I was on till for a while, had a couple of idiots (people who really should know better, which are the worst kind, I fucking hate them), then we had a shitty manufactured pop group in to do a badly managed in-store signing session (I purposefully avoided the whole thing).
Ahhh everything sucks. Now I’ve got pains in my knees and shin splints. Tomorrow’s gonna be shite, I just know it. I hope Dave’s party cheers me up. It was his birthday on Tuesday, by the way. He’s 21. Send him gifts. Send me gifts too, while you’re at it. I know it’s not my birthday, but I like gifts.
