trials and tribulations of the one armed princess

well it's official. have constant use of only one arm is bullshit. for starters i can't scratch my left arm and right now it really itches.

work is hard. i spent most of today tracking down people and their addresses. that meant a lot of writing which isn't bad but it also meant a lot of typing. and typing with one hand is hard. and not a quick task either.

i did not get to leave work as early as i would have liked, but i did get to go out to dinner with friends and that was nice. i had salad. yes on purpose. i had to think of something i could eat that would be easiest. so a burger was out, and when i wanted to share in the appetizer i had to have some one cut me a piece. just like a child. grrrr.

my after dinner activities proved to be somewhat exhausting. i had to go to the store to purchase a gift for my friends son. he's going to be three on monday. jen was kind enough to drive me to the store. starting the car and putting on my seat belt is hard work so it was nice of her to take me. she hates the store. after spending 30 minutes or so in the toy isle we finally landed on the fisher price little people castle which is too cute. i like the catapult and the fact that the dragon is purple. i also purchased some conversation hearts because, hell it's almost valentines day and they are my favorite.

upon our return home i thought i was ready for bed but seeing how i want to get this package in the mail tomorrow it seemed there was some wrapping and weighing to do. so first we weighted the package using the wii fit balance board (it weights 5 lbs give or take) and then i had to measure the box. blah blah blah boring boring boring. and then the fun began. it was time to wrap it.

you ever tried to wrap a gift using only one arm? not just one hand but only one arm. it's interesting and i suggest you go have a friend tie your arm behind your back and try it right now.

i think i did a pretty good job all things considered.

but now my arm is killing me more then ever. i think it's been too much excitement for it. now i just have to see if jen remembers to bring me a box and i hope it fits in it.

time for pills, yogurt and an ice pack. only my favorite ice pack busted today. sad. luckily it's cold enough i'll just put my other hand on my elbow.

so there. that is a day in the life of the one armed princess. or at least today.

the end.
