my miserable life (part 2)

ok - so i decided to do a good deed and help a friend do some volunteer work at a local food pantry. there ramp was rotting away and since most of the clients are elderly and many in wheel chairs or on walkers the ramp was a necessity. no problem. we tear it down and rebuild it fairly quickly. . . but then we run out of carpet tacks that we were using to tack down the carpeting (duh) and he heads out to get some more. while he's gone i realized the ramp was sort of in the way of the food pantry entrance so i pick it up (it only weighted about 70 to 80 pounds) and decide i'll carry it inside to the back so we won't be in the way.

of course, i stupidly forget that with the ramp gone there is a huge step up and proceed to trip over the step and fall forward. my only thought is to save the ramp (which we'd spent two hours rebuilding) so i twist and turn to land under the ramp. . . and proceed to break my hand in two places. . . so now i have to wear this temporary cast thingy (like david hasselhoff) and can only type with my right forefinger. what really sucks is that i am tragically right-handed - can't do anything with my left so. . . to beat you to the punchline - my sex life is ruined for weeks (oh and i can barely eat or brush my teeth or even tie my shoes)

and that's what you get for doing a good deed!
