I am living proof that things can ALWAYS get much worse. As if all the suffering I have gone through since the start of 2008 was not enough, today more bad things happened.
I woke up with a badly sore throat and muscle ache all over, but I helped clear out a room that we wanted to paint. I kept going back and forth in the house to transfer objects from this room elsewhere. I hadn’t had breakfast yet because we were in a hurry to get the room ready. When the room was cleared out, my brother was dissembling a bed that remained there. I happened to walk by as he was working on the other end of the bed, and BAM!, a large wooden board fell on both my feet. The pain was excruciating. I remember leaning my hand against the wall and saying ‘it’s okay.’
When I woke up, my vision was blurry and my head hurt like a bitch. I saw my mother’s face, with tears in her eyes, and then I saw my brother wiping a damp cloth on my face and on my feet. I thought I was dreaming. My feet were killing me, and my head was buzzing. I asked them, ‘what happened?,’ and they just told me to stay still. I was very hot and I was trying to move the turtle neck I was wearing away from my neck. Everything hurt and I was very confused. Then I started crying.
Later on, I realized I had fainted and fell on the floor head-first. They tell me they thought I was okay when I leaned against the wall but that I suddenly seemed to want to stand tall and instead just dropped to the floor. When my head banged against the floor, I opened my eyes, then I was gone. Luckily, I didn’t bang my head on a sharp angle or any object. I got up after a while, bruised and shaken. I guess my system shut down because I was in a lot of pain, and the stress probably helped.
So, you see, 2008 is not my year. In addition to that early morning incident, which I remember every time I look at my blue-purple feet or try to move, I had a presentation to do at school and I did it because I did not want to lose the grades. I also learned that fixing my car will cost me 700 JD, which is obviously a fortune. Also, I have a research proposal to submit tomorrow and a midterm exam the day after.
I am extremely hating my life right now.
7amdella 3ala salamtek…I know how that feels…
I hope that things will get better and happy things will happen to you.
Salamtik..alf salama. I hope things get better soon :)
The bright side:
- you get to brag that you were right on not being optimistic
- something to blog about
- no permanent damage
- your brother owes you one
P.S. What would happen to the comments if instead of simple addition you started using logarithms for anti-spam ?
Salamaat Tol and goodluck with your exam and other stuff, things will go better enshallah, at least now you can highly consider charging your brother with the cost of fixing your car ;)
salamat…. but seriously what did you do to get such bad karma ?
salamtek! maybe you should that secret crap of sending out positive energy to the world.
lah! walla salamtek thats no simple accident..u were right being non optimistic..and I was picking on u..khalas now I’m on ur side if u need anything I got ur back.
If it makes u feel better I also got about 500jd car maintenance to puff out soon.
They say the problem is resolved when u expect bad stuff and then it happens..so now bad times are behind u..look for a bright future “with olive oil shoe size!”..ok ok I’m kidding.
I forgot to say “try” lol
Salamtik wallah!
Not too long ago I felt like everything was falling down on me all at once and everything that could possibly go bad did…and I mean everything like school-wise, relationship-wise, family-wise, money-wise……but I got through it and I’m still alive! Hang in there girl.
