So...you would never guess what happened to me yesterday. Well, maybe you can. This summer really has been the worst. I don't know why but all the bad things seem to happen in a series. It's not just me. I've had some friends and family members been like that. And now, I guess it's my turn. I just hope all my bad luck will disappear. I really hope so. Pray for me.
Yesterday was an awful day. I woke up at 10:10 when I need to be in work by 10. There were blackouts the other day and my clock was messed up. So I changed the times that night but I got the actual time wrong. I didn't change it from pm to am so it was actually 10:10pm and my alarm was set for am. I quickly got up, called my office, and got there at 10:30. Since I didn't have any work for my current project then, I helped out a colleague with filing. She was behind with it and she still has a lot of stuff to do. I like filing so I figured why not. I had a lot of papers to file and the folders are in different drawers. I was quite greedy and had two of the four drawers out. And I wanted to open another one and as I did that, the whole thing fell over. I pushed that thing back and put the drawers in but a separate little cabinet on top of it fell on me. This one was an open filing cabinet and all the papers fell out. I was in my own little room and the crash was booming. A few of my colleague ran over and saw what happened. I was really embarrassed and I kept picking up the papers. They asked if I was ok and I just said I was fine and kept picking up the papers. I wasn't even concerned for myself! All that was in my mind was that I needed to put everything back and I was worrying everybody. I had my head turned so nobody saw what was going on. As I was picking up some more things, I saw some fluid flowing down the corner of my eye. I wiped it and I saw blood on my hands. That's when I turned around and told them. I quickly went to the bathroom to wash up. I had a centimeter cut on my right eyebrow and it was bleeding. One of my colleagues put some alcohol on it. She said that the cut was a little deep and that I probably might need stitches. There was a cut inside of my lip and another cut underneath my nose. They werern't bleeding but I could feel that they were swelling up. I wasn't really sure if I needed to go to a doctor. Mai asked me to drink some water and to take a walk. So that's what we did. I was still in shock, I guess. I wasn't really sure what to do yet. We walked for a while and collected myself. After talking to a few people, I felt that I should go see a doctor. So I came back to the office, typed up an injury report, and went home.
I had called Aye to tell her what happened. She called our family doctor but for some reason, that clinic was closed. So we went to the Fairfax Hospital ER. I was quite happy that I didn't have to wait. They didn't have many people there so they got me on the patient's bed within 10 minutes that I was there. A total of 5 people helped me. One would come, ask what happened, looked at it and then leave. But the resident that treated me was really nice. She told me what she was gonna do and what I was gonna feel. So I was quite comfortable with what she was doing. I got 2 stitches and a tetanus shot. The stitches hurt only a little bit cuz she gave me a shot near that area to numb it. But I could still feel the needle poking my skin but it didn't really hurt. The tetanus shot, however, hurts. My whole arm is feeling that dull pain as if my muscles are sore. Apart from all that, my lip is a little swollen and I still have a slight headache. My eyebrow seems to be fine. I'm taking Ibuprofen so that it won't hurt. The sutures need to be taken out in 5 days so we'll see what happens then. It's quite funny cuz Wynn and my dad both have scars on their eyebrows. I don't know which side but it would be really weird if all three of us have the scars on the same eyebrow. They both have the same scars on the same knee too. Hopefully, I won't get that! But it's weird cuz all three of us have the same blood type and we look alike and have similar things happen to us. My mom, Lynn and Aye have the same blood type and they look alike and have the same kinds of things. It's sooo weird!
Apart from that incident, it has been good. I guess I have to think of positive things and be a little optimistic, right? Monday and Tuesday seemed like they weren't gonna end. Maybe becuz I was at work! Wednesday was pretty good. Ali and Yoo Mi came to have lunch with us. Sylvie stopped by too. Having friends over for your lunch break is always a good idea. We wanted to do something that night since it was Yoo Mi's last night before she leaves for Texas. Mai and I thought it would be nice to go play putt-putt but then the big storm hit after an hour of our decision. The rain was quite heavy. Some said they even got hail. I didn't get to see all that cool stuff since I was stuck in the office. I had my back turned to the window and I was just at my computer doing my work. But there were a lot of areas flooded and that wasn't good. Since our plan had to change, we were at Chili's that night. I swear, I'm at Chili's at least every week!! So it was Yoo Mi, Ali, Carolina, Carla, Mai E. and I. We weren't too hungry so we just ordered dessert which is always a good idea there! *wink* I had my daily dose of chocolate with the Molten Cake. It's heavenly. It was great to talk and laugh but it didn't really hit me that I won't be seeing Yoo Mi till Christmas. I totally forgot about it when we left and then I was like WHOA! I had to give her big hugs and told her to email us when she gets there and all that. It's just such a weird feeling. Wow. Ahh!!! I don't want summer to end even though this summer has been really bad. I mean, I had bad things happened to me but I still had tons of fun with so many people. Some unforgettable moments and treasurable memories. In a few more days, Ali is leaving and then all those people going to V-Tech. I only have 2 more weeks left too. BUT Lynn is gonna be back next Wednesday and I can't wait! It's gonna be fun. I miss Wynn though. Us 4 sisters are all separated and that shouldn't be the case. Anyway, enough blabber. I'll talk to you later, hopefully, not because of an unfortunate incident!
~ Ei Ei :*
Lying in my bed
Thoughts in my head
Thinking of you
But I can't get through the night
So pick up the phone
I know you're home
You're playing with my heart
And you know that it just ain't right
It's just a game of love...love...love...
And even though it's hard, baby
I can never give you up ~ Celine
