When it rains, it pours!

Yesterday i come out of the library at 3PM and it's pouring, and i mean in buckets!

I ride to Walgreens. Their machine is broken and the pics won't be done until Wed. Ok, from there i ride to BK and arrived soaked to the bones. Took me a while to dry up a little bit with napkins, but my clothes were still wet.

I see Timmy and he treats me to 2 whooper jr's. Nice dude, we talk a bit. He's leaving for a gathering of hippies like him and tells me he'll be back next month.

At 5:30PM i decide to ride to my tent and take a nap, change clothes and then hit DD for the free donuts. I wake up later than expected and in my hurry to get to DD i slip on the grass on the way and my right thumb goes back a little further than it should.

Pain. I know enough that i'm certain it's not broken, maybe fractured at worst.

I get to DD, too late. Oh well, i head to BK and get me a whooper jr and read my book. 

The pain is not too bad, i get a plastic bag and put some ice in it to rest my right hand on. It helps a bit.

At 10:30PM i leave BK and ride with my swollen hand back to my tent. The rain never stopped and by the grace of god my camp is not surrounded by pools of water even though i think it should, based on the fact i'm at the bottom of a slope.

I could barely sleep, my tent had a few leaks, probably from the insane amount of rain falling down on it. I used my sleeping bag and blanket to keep me dry. 

I can't remember how many hours i slept but i can tell you it wasn't many or consecutive, an hour here and there. I'm up at 8AM and instantly feel the pain from my right hand.

It took me a bit longer to get dressed, but i had to get to BK and get out of the tent. Darr hasn't come back from NY it seems and Mary hasn't called, but i'm not worried, yet.

I stay at BK until 3:30PM as i finish my book; meanwhile i'm exercising and massaging my thumb and the muscles near it.

My guess is that in a couple of days the swell will come down.

I finally get the pics from Walgreens, which are below (of course not in order, they can't seem to get that right ever). It's 6:30PM now and i'm at the library on my laptop.



Here is me inside Darren's stretch limo =D
 


Darr took this pic of me in front of the limo, didn't come out so good unfortunately.



Donuts! yummy donuts!
