It's because I was born on a Thursday, not a Tuesday*

Here's another thing you might not know about me: I am exceptionally accident-prone. When I was younger, my mother -- who will tell anyone who asks that I "could jump in the air and miss" -- thought that years of ballet lessons would cure it. But all that really did was make me get hurt in a more graceful fashion.

Why do I bring this up? Because I think I sprained my ankle -- again -- and I'm not sure how. When I got home from work yesterday, it was fine. Between then and when I put my heels on this morning at work, something happened.

Now it is swollen and purple and it hurts to walk. So, I'm taking a pain pill and going to sleep.

If you don't remember getting a sprain, it might be something else. I had a staph infection a while back. Just keep an eye on it or get it checked out. Couldn't hurt.

I was born on a Tuesday but sadly, sometimes I think I could have been born on a Wednesday or Thursday.

Both of my siblings were born on Sunday. Do you know what it's like to have to compete with that?

And did that work out for them? ;-)

I'll bet you never considered that space aliens might be responsible.

I'm fair and wise and good and gay like your siblings. Lucky me!

dsl: Yes, duh. They're both perfect. They're like Stepford siblings.

Oh, wait. Not so much.

mad: Space aliens are responsible for my siblings? Oh, you meant my ankle. Maybe. I know they're responsible for the weird bruise on my leg.

cbk: Bragging about it is neither fair, nor wise, nor good. But that's okay. I'm sure it's hard to live up to that.
