my foot is not broken. i had several x-rays taken today, and none of them showed any fractures. no ligament damage, either. so whatever went "SNAP!" when i slipped on the ice must've either healed itself quickly or i just had rice krispies in my boots.
my doctor totally likes me. he had a medical student following him around today, and just before he entered my exam room i heard him say to her, "do you know what she does for a living??!" it was kind of cute.
anyway, he told me it could take up to 6 weeks for all of the brusing to go away, but he didn't even schedule any kind of follow up appointment for me, nor did he give me a wooden shoe to wear. so there you go... my impulse to not see a doctor was spot-on. this time, anyway.
ok, i just have to talk paint. i spent the entire weekend with a paint brush in my hand and i still have the aches and pains to show for it. but it was so worth it. i've lived here for about 9 months now, and i had yet to feel like i loved this house. all this time it felt like the house owned me. the tree through the roof, the furnace, the bathroom remodeling... that's a lot to go through in such a short span of time.
anyway, it sounds totally cornball to say it, but the paint makes all the difference in the world. i now love this house. this room feels so warm and cozy, and i finally feel like i'm in control. i could sit here in the living room forever. it's perfect.
i've painted a lot of rooms in my life, but this one... just... feels... right. it's now my house, my color, my space. i really truly feel like i'm home now.
except now the kitchen totally stands out. it's screaming for a new color now, too. dammit. i wonder how long i'm going to be able to stand it. (it can't take more than a day to paint, right??)
i heard that groan, lisa. ;)
