Gaaaaaahhhhh! Last Thursday I had a little mishap and somehow BROKE a bone in my FOOT! IT SUCKS. Now I have to wear the air boot for six weeks. 6 weeks! It is so frustrating. I had so much to do last weekend and so much going on this week, and, well, for the rest of the month. But now I can't drive, I'm begging for rides to work because I don't want to hobble to and from the bus stop. I have to stick close to the office for lunch. Grrrr.

One of the things I had on my list last weekend was going to Origins in Rookwood. Very close, convenient. I was out of my face cleanser. But even that short trip was out. Then I remembered something. Once, when I was in that store, a saleswoman mentioned that they will deliver. That's so nice. I thought it cost $3 for some reason. That's less than s+h if ordered on line, and faster too. But no! I called, asked about delivery and they do it for FREE! That's way better than online ordering. And it should be here tomorrow. Not in 4-5 business days. That is great customer service.

So, the break happened Thursday night. The ER doc at Jewish Hospital in Kenwood said I would probably need a cast and have to stay off of it for awhile. Oh No! I told him that would not do. I have to go out on Friday. Not only did I procure a ticket to The Lion King a mere few hours earlier (shortly before the accident), but Friday was the Spring Fling. I bought my ticket a month ago! Luckily, the next day, the orthopedic doc said a cast wasn't necessary and gave me an air cast to go with my crutches. And I did go to the Lion King that very night. It was terrific. I love the opening scene. Is there any better opening scene in all of theater world? I doubt it. Then I begged a ride to Coney Island for the Spring Fling. The guys I went to the show with weren't even going to the Fling but they felt sorry enough for me that they drove me out there. Once I found my friends, I stayed in one place all night. Sigh. But I still had a good time.

Is there any way to get past telling the story over and over? Maybe I should send out a mass email.

Saturday night, I went to dinner and the Over the Rhine concert at the 20th Century in Oakley. Ellery was the opening act and both of those bands rock. Ellery reminds me a little of a cross between Tori Amos and Norah Jones. OTR, as we in Cincinnati have known for so long, are awesome.
