The bruise!

Showing off my war wound
Ouch! What a bruise!

This is a little silly to do a post, but I thought I'd do it anyway. Last Tuesday, Jon and I decided it was time for a little spring cleaning. Our blinds desperately needed to be cleaned, so I started the task while Jon was at the dentist. I should have waited for his help, because I got injured while cleaning the first set of blinds. I figured the blinds would be easier to clean if I took them down and laid them on a sheet. When I went to take the blinds down, all of the wood slats fell out. Obviously the men who put them in when the house was built didn't put the slats in correctly. Anyway, I left the slats out and put the bar that the blinds hang on back up. I didn't latch it back in, so it was still a little loose. A little while later, I had forgotten that I'd loosened the blinds and I pulled the string to make the blinds go up and the whole thing fell on my arm. The bar came tumbling down right on my arm and left a beautiful bruise. I couldn't believe how tender the bruise was. I thought it was quite and impressive bruise, so I had Jon take a picture of my arm. Needless to say, I had Jon help me with cleaning the rest of the blinds. Everyone has been giving Jon a bad time about beating up on me. Thank goodness he'd never really do that.

That looks painful! I hope it is all better now. When we went down to Moab I got attacked by our bike rack and I had a big bruise like that on my arm except it didn't turn cool colors like yours. It was pretty pale. I wanted to take a picture of mine but it wasn't very dark so I didn't. Good for you for taking the pictures!
