Literally. One of my ribs in the back popped out of its socket and it was literally one of the most painful things I’ve ever felt. I can take a punch like a champ, stitches to the face no problem, a giant bleeding gash like nobody’s business- but this had me lying facedown on my bed crying and gasping for air. If I moved, it hurt. If I inhaled it hurt. If I yawned (which I tried to do a lot because I wasn’t getting enough oxygen) it hurt. It took a few days, a lot of cracking, adjusting, ice packs, and heat packs for it to go back in. I swear I’m only twenty three.

Between that, a surprise illness, a poisoning, multiple clinic visits, several doctors appointments, copious trips to the pharmacy, and many, many, many ridiculous instances of bad luck I’ve had over the last week, I haven’t been very active on here. Like, my phone broke, I got my first speeding ticket ever, I almost got in a serious accident on the freeway today, I accidentally kicked off a baseboard just walking through the house, I messed up a blood test, ect ect ect. I’ve been utterly exhausted and super loopy and just not feeling well….I’m feeling just a little bit better, and no promises to myself, but hopefully things are looking up.
