I was hoping my week wouldn't get worse. It did. Dropped a glass on the stairs, huge mess and the stress from that left me immobile in bed for over an hour and a half.

Pain levels 7.5 out of 10 (side effects: nausea and disorentation), they were over 8 (controlled screaming) earlier.

Fuck my life.

see, again, I keep forgetting which rant thread is the kinda okay one and which one is the big fucking deal one.

There's also the whine like a baby thread for first world problems, like buying a package of Oreos and finding out there are three less than usual.

Stupid nabisco.

I've never counted before. So tell me, Mr. Owl, how many Oreos does it take to get to the bottom of a Nabisco Oreo snack bag?

Wow. I never knew it was such a huge thing in other places.

Today is my Brother in laws birthday. He's a weed advocate but he doesn't make a big deal about it, despite the perfect timing. Neither does my mother in law, despite the fact she's been in constant pain for 15 years with weed being the only thing that can help the pain subside (when she can get it).

Bizarre.

To me it would be strange if one of my herb imbibing friends mentioned 4/20. Because they have to work, and would likely lose their job if word got around that they smoked.

I let slip an uncharacteristic moment of desperation on Facebook yesterday (typically, I just use Facebook and Twitter to post jokes - shocking, I'm sure), expressing that the current sum of my tornado experience is that any idea you have about permanence or ownership is just an illusion, and that the things you take comfort in and the people you love can be taken away from you in a moment and there's not a damned thing you can do about it. I got two responses, one from my wife's mother, the other from her grandmother.

Jesus could help.

I know they mean well, but I'm not religious, so it's not really helpful. It was everything I could do to not respond "The only way Jesus could help right now is if I was stuck in a house with only water to drink".

Jesus could build you a new house. He was a carpenter's son. Trades like that were passed down back then. Also, if he could teach people that respawn trick, BAM! Now you get both back.

So yeah, freak hailstorm hit while I was driving. The news reports all said it was over 45mins north and was going to miss my city all together.

Yeah well first my back windshield shattered behind me. Sending a chuck of shattered glass at the back of my head and down my back. I tried driving for cover but before I could make it, my front windshield shattered (both of them were weakened from the last storm not even a month ago). So I got glass in my face, chest, lap and got pelted by hail. I almost wrecked pulling into the grass off the side of the road. I couldn't get in the back seat, I couldn't get out of the car. I huddled in the middle but my legs were still getting pelted.

I couldn't call for help as my line wouldn't connect. Who'd come anyway? I don't have anyone who would (I'd never ask my brother to make that drive in that kind of storm). So I sat in the middle of the front and back of my car.

Two good things happened: I was within walking distance of Wal-Mart (to buy supplies to clean the glass off my driver's seat so I could drive the car home) and the storm only lasted 15 minutes.

I'm in so much pain it's ridiculous. Nurse cutie said I could come over tonight and get knocked out on some heavy painkillers she has. I'm going to need it. This is easily the worst thing that's happened to me. I know that's not alot compared to others, but it's the worst that's happened. Funny part? Tomorrow was my insurance adjuster's meeting to see if my car was a total loss from the last storm. I think that's been established with this.

I'd give Mother Nature 2 on this one so far.

Total cost of damages - estimated $800-1200.

It was a mini-basketball (at least bigger than a baseball) that took out the front windshield. They were reporting that sized hail in the area that I could tell.

I'm just glad you're (relatively) ok.

Yeah, I was mostly worried about a concussion or head bleeding from the hit on the back of my head. So I took some mild painkillers and am forcing myself to stay away from my bed.

I know there's going to be some serious brusing on my legs and chest but yeah, it really could have been worse.... I just don't want to imagine how.

Wife says you should get your head hit checked for concussion type stuff anyway; it can sneak up on you and no one wants anything bad happening to you.

Well with obvious reason, Nurse Cutie had to work overtime tonight. Alot of car wrecks caused alot of injuries and hail injuries as well. She DID however drive out to my place, on her break, to eat dinner and get me medicated/looked at.

I hate to say it, but I was feeling it when she got here and took care of me. See, in my last long term relationship, I was the "care-giver". Yeah I know that sounds funny coming from me, but when the ex got sick (which was often) I was always the "rock". When I got sick, I had to suck it up. This is the first time since I was under the age of 12 that someone genuinely took care of me. Not only that, but went way out of her way to do it. Felt... good....

Then again... it could be these fucking amazing painkillers..... :megusta:

And some might say...it took baseball-sized hailballs to make Sheg's heart grow three sizes that day...

yeah, but seriously? Girls That Take Care of Me is like, my Achille's Heel. I love being coddled, swaddled, babied, fondled. I'm a big teddy bear. Except for some reason those end up being the women I toss away, versus the frigid, distant, independant hoo-nanny's I end up vying for, constantly.

Hmm. Sheg and Nurse Cutie is like free therapy for me.
