Another Brick in the Wall - Google Blogger

Today has been one hell of a day. It got off to a bit of a rough start,
as I completely and utterly wiped out getting to my car and landed
square on my shoulder. More on that in a bit.

Got my butt down to the bank, and paid myself. I freakin' love that!
Who got paid? PAID IN FULL BABY!

Then began the slightly more painful process of saying goodbye to large
chunks of change. The first step in eliminating my income was down at
AMA where I forked over all my fines and car registration.

$850 poorer, my car is now legit and I have an AMA membership. Ow. To
celebrate, I washed my car.

Next up was punching an even bigger hole in the old finances, but for an
extremely worthy cause. BLINKIES!

My supah sexay Macbook 2.0GHz with 160G SATA drive and 2G of RAM is paid
off, and will be in on Wednesday it appears. BOOYEAH! Mmmm...
blinkies.

>From there it was off to my former place of employment to pay off my new
domain which is still unannounced really. I don't plan on making that
domain public until I've managed to register it as my company name as
well. I suppose that's a bit of a vanity thing, as there really is no
need for anything more than my numbered company. It's just a heck of a
lot easier to give someone a name rather than try and remember 7 digits
followed by Alberta Inc. Yeesh.

Next up on the list of expenses was to finish off the payment to the law
firm that handled immigration for Kim and I. That went a little pear
shaped, as I managed to completely forget my cheque book at home.
Whoops. We just about cleared it up since they have a debit machine,
but it was unfortunately on the blink. Not handy. So that'll be a
return trip on Monday likely.

>From there it was a mad dash through rush hour traffic to pick up some
fresh veggies and stuff for my sweetie so she wouldn't drop of the
starved at work. I'm all about keeping my sweetie a happy monkey :)

Grabbed a quick bite with Allison up at Brewster's way out in the
industrial area before she headed off to archery with her new bow and
spiffy new arrows.

Then a little more errand running where I picked myself up something to
use on the laptop when it arrives.

World of Warcraft :) Should be interesting... I've never played a game
like that before, and have never been much of a gamer.

Then it was back downtown to rescue my sugarmoogle from $employer.

This is now the bit where I revisit the wipe out from this morning.
Throughout today my shoulder had been stiffening up something fierce.
It got to the point where I could barely lift my arm at all and was
getting shooting pain down my arm into my thumb and numbness in my
fingers. Not cool.

So off to the Loughheed hospital to get it looked at. Being a minor
injury, I actually managed to completely sidestep the horror of the
Emergency waiting room itself, and was sent over to minor treatment.
After some rather painful prodding and lifting of my right arm and some
range of motion tests, the nice doctor man gave me two percocet and then
ordered some x-rays. While nothing showed up on those, he's fairly
confident I have a hairline fracture in my shoulder. So a handful more
percocet to take for the next couple of days and it's off to home. At
2am.

Today has been a *very* long day. I am now dragging my sorry ass to bed
after taking two more percocets, and I'm going to enjoy a truly solid
sleep.
