Clumsy klutzy me
If you know me well, you’d know that I’m extremely clumsy. At any time, there’s at least one bruise on me somewhere. Usually my legs…I bump into coffee tables, chair legs…anything that sticks out or have a sharp edge in the apartment, I guarantee you I’ve bumped into it at least once. Or twice. One night, I hit the same baby toe twice…once near the bed, the other time on the legs of the computer table. Ouch!
This beauty of a bruise came from hitting the edge of my table at work when I was rushing to get something off the printer. It hurt (duh!) for a moment when I first hit it, but the pain disappeared. It was only when I went home last night that I saw it had become swollen, and 24 hours later…tada! *focus on the bruise and not my fat thighs, yah!*

And it’s not only bruises. For a nail biter, you’d think my nails would be short and blunt, right? Well, it’s not. It’s short, alright…but blunt? Only if you call scissors blunt. Work colleagues can attest that every once in a while, they’ll see me with a long scratch on my face, and it’s not from…well, nevermind that. The point is that I scratch my face in my sleep. Three scratches ago, it actually bled cause it was so deep. The last scratch started halfway from my cheek till the edge of my mouth…but it wasn’t that deep so it healed pretty fast.
After that incident, I resorted to wearing mittens to bed. The only thing was, I didn’t have mittens per se (and I couldn’t find my gloves)…so I used socks! And it worked…until last night when I forgot to put them on…I woke up this morning, washed my face only to feel that familiar stinging sensation…and again! Another scratch! Just when the last one just healed! Luckily, this was short and not deep.
So now you know. I’m a klutz.
Ok ok…I know there’s not much point to this post. I’m actually just wasting time waiting for hubby to get back from his badminton game so that we can watch GA. *grin*
