What a day!

Wow! What an eventful day!

This morning started off very well. My mom was up before I was - full of energy and wanted to go and feed the ducks at the park. We both got dressed and then she changed her mind and decided she wanted to go swim instead. So I went down with her but didn't swim as haven't really groomed my ladybits well enough as wasn't anticipating swimming today in my teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini.

So I read my book whilst my mom swam - well paddled around as she can't swim all that well... Then she decided she was getting too hot so we came upstairs and I started to make lunch. It might be helpful to know that we live in a large apartment block in front of the sea with a communal pool. I was preparing for a tuna salad and cutting tomatoes and chatting to my little cousin Afonso who's 10 and...

Oops - I chopped off the tip of my left ring finger.

FFUUCCKK!!!!

It was just a flesh wound but it hurt SO much. My poor little cousin was busy telling me a story and you could tell he didn't know whether to carry on with his story or stop. So he carried on telling me his story.

Now I am someone who tends to get quite giggly when in pain. My aunt was also at home and I went to tell her what had happened and she ushered me to the bathroom and tried to find a plaster and stop the bleeding as it was bleeding like a stuck pig. She then asked me if I had kept the other bit - by that I think she meant the chunk of flesh that I had cut off... My poor cousin promptly went to the kitchen and came back clutching the little bit of white flesh handing it out to me as if to say 'Did you want it?' My aunt wanted to put it in the plaster to see if it would grow back on. UM - NO - How repulsive? Chuck it in the bin!!! I wouldn't even touch it.

When I was convinced that the bleeding had been contained by the 6 plasters over my finger I went back to finish preparing the lunch before my mom got back. Poor little Afonso was following me around silently with a mop as the blood had just filtered through the plasters and was leaving a steady trail of drops on the floor.
Thank the Lord that my mother wasn't there or she would have FREAKED! She can be a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to me.

They came back and continued making the lunch and I came to watch a bit of the sound of music DVD to cheer me up...

I had lunch. My step dad always puts LOADS of water in the salad dressing and I really don't like eating drowned salad. Anyway - we ate and then I went to watch some more of the DVD with my mother and cousin and went to have a little nap. I was determined to do as little as possible as a result of my injury as it's normally me ding EVERYTHING!

This evening I was determined to get at least 1 reader/follower for my blog.

These were the things I tried:

1. I tried to join a 'blog community' but ended up creating my own bloody community by mistake which no one joined

2. I tried to 'follow' loads of other bloggers in the hope that they would see me and take a look at my blog

3. I had a brainwave of joining a popular 'chat site' and messaging everyone to read my blog.

The third attempt at gathering followers had some hilarious repercussions.

I had this one guy - male009 trying to chat me up.

I asked him 'Do you blog?' and he asked me what that was and then went to the general chat page to ask whether blogging was some kind of new kinky sex technique! Oh my word - save me NOW!

I was trying to convince everyone to read my blog. Most people ignored me - some were real sweet and started chatting to me about their own personal experiences with cancer and family members with terminal illnesses and then there was this one guy and this is what happened...

I wanted to try and copy and paste the hilarious conversation between myself and the Serbian internal medicine doctor about my finger. But no joy... Poor guy he was so sweet. It's a real pity I can't share it with you.

Besides for about 99% of the people on there who were obviously out to get their freak on there were actually some real genuine people (all 2 of them - thanks Taylorrr and Serbian doctor man) who actually read through my whole blog and commented on it.

Goodnight nobodies
