This is just a quick update to say that while my vacation tried it's hardest to kill me, I did in fact return to the sweltering west coast in one piece.

I may have an ear infection, a UTI, a Ganglian cyst growing from my wrist and a concussion, but overall the trip was great. So great that I ended the night by taking on a concrete floor with my face. The floor won. My teeth may or may not be loose, my lip needed stitches and I've yet to see the gash in my nose that had my mom and sister in tears (and blood running down my cleavage).

I feel better than I look, I promise. My lip is black and blue, gashed open inside and out, while my chin is so dark blue, it almost looks like I have a black goatee. No wonder people are staring.

I have had a killer headache on and off, but overall I feel fine. Slight confusion now and then, but I also didn't sleep last night due to fear of a concussion and a flight at 6 am. I slept a bit on the plane and once I got home.

I'm alive though and I drove around a bit, and I seem coherent. If the headache persists, I'll see a doctor. My body hurts all over, my arms and legs are covered in bruises and road rashes from the concrete.

Otherwise, the trip was great and I should post an entry about that soon. But for tonight? Sleep.

I have to return to work tomorrow looking like I had a bar fight or played hockey. Nope. I was sober and just clumsy when my face splatted on the concrete.

Go me. I was seriously laughing about myself after it happened even. Well once I came to my senses. I remember my first reaction was to bury my bloody face into Kevin's shirt. Apparently I was crying. Not from pain, I never hurt.... Even as I felt the blood gushing and strangers screamed "oh my god" after looking at me... No, I was terrified because I was dizzy and didn't feel any pain when I knew I should be hurting like hell.

Kevin stayed calm, took care of me and still today cleaned the nose gash and re-bandaged it so I didn't have to look at it. He's been so sweet and through the entire trip, I'm so glad to have him by my side :)

Okay, bedtime for me. See ya all again soon. Work tomorrow will be hectic, but I warned my boss that my face isn't pretty already. Maybe I'll get some sympathy for coming to work looking like I battled a honey badger :P

Not sure if this gets posted twice.... It's showing up weird in my phone app as a draft. I didn't want to delete the entry.... Not sure what I needed to do....
