Sundry Books meet Concrete

I'm really clumsy.

I don't know if I've told you this before. 

Probably.

This morning walking out to my car, I stepped on a divot in our front lawn, turned my ankle, and dropped my load of books into the middle of the street.

You see, I'm thinking that I need to get back into studying Hebrew, so I had my Hebrew Bible, a lexicon, a grammar, and a set of scriptures in my arms. I thought I would study them during lunch breaks at work.

I landed on my arm, I guess, and somehow strained a tricep. I've been hobbling around all day.

I hope my Hebrew skills aren't too rusty.

It makes me squirmy :( Poor you!

Whoops. Talk about an existential encounter. That comment was from Jessica.

Holdinator said...

Yeah right. You just wanted some sympathy, and it wasn't coming from anyone else.

Holdinator said...

Well, somebody had to feel sorry for the dork.

Holdinator said...

Did anyone else think that the title was really dumb?

Holdinator said...

I kind of like the title. Sundry would make a good daily word on his other blog.

Holdinator said...

Maybe he should use the plural sundries, because it is one letter away from sundried, and he loves those kinds of tomatoes.

Not to mention that every time he reads the word sundries he thinks it has to do with jarred tomatoes, that is, until he thinks about it for a minute.

Hey guys! Get your comments back on track here. This post was about my injuries sustained during an everyday activity. Funny, huh.

I laughed while writing it.

Actually, I didn't. But I imagined that I might if I did that kind of thing.

It's also about studying Hebrew. Now that's engaging.

Ouch. I spilled chocolate ice cream on my shorts last night, and when I stuffed a paper towel between my leg and the shorts, it looked like a bandage and the ice cream stain looked like blood. Kind of like your arm in that picture, but mine was ice cream, not blood. I'd rather eat ice cream than blood. Are you okay?

Holdinator said...

I choose ice cream too.

Though I didn't eat any of my blood.

Speaking of health, I went to get my annual physical at the doctor's yesterday and I noticed that under "mental health" he wrote "grossly intact." What do you think of that? Why did he have to write the word "gross"? Maybe I'm just such a genius that I completely disgust everyone around me. I blame it on the Hebrew classes.

Like that Calvin and Hobbes where Calving picks a fight with his good side. Good times.
