Blue Irony



Ever since I moved to Braunschweig the color blue gets me with things I have no influence on.
I don´t like the color blue.

The room in the flat sharing had a blue carpet.
My new colleague helped me out with a drawer he didn´t need anymore - blue.
First company car, boss asked which color, I said I don´t care, the cheapest - blue.
Last pair of hiking shoes in my size...

And now this!

Not enough I need crutches, they come in blue!

Dang. Ingo said, don´t act like a sissy, when in fact I ran around with a broken foot for two days.

Yay to modern medicine I only got a splint - but... am signed sick till Feb 17th :-(
At least...
But by chance I got a real good medical practice.
Bad thing: since the splint has to be that tight it hurts and I can either make my way to the pharmacy like that in a slipper through the snow on crutches - which seems to not be a good idea - or wait till Ingo is home in about 5 hours.

Maybe I reconsider the first option.
It´s only 280 m. But in snow ...

I am so dang glad it happened now and not in my holiday.
Because... snow even wasn´t involved.
Laugh about me it happened in the bedroom. I was a tad fast, we have little hearts as carpets on wooden floor, I went around the corner and... dang, there I went! My left foot tried to lift the bed, so to say.

Weird how I always took for granted being able to run around.
When I broke my arm, that was bad, it hurt, it was difficult, but I was mobile.

Three weeks, my teamleader will not be amused... So far he doesn´t answer the phone - maybe he got a guess already...

Hope it heals quickly and the pain goes away soon. I never broke any bone! "Touch wood"
