In case you were unaware, it takes approximately 3 weeks for tetanus shot pain to fully resolve. No, I had no reason to agree to a tetanus shit except for the occasional work I do in the great outdoors (ugh) and because it’s been over 12 years since I last had one. Honestly, I felt as if the tetanus shot was a medical upsale. Like, when they ask if you also want a large fry with your burger and coke. “Today, we can offer you a flu shot and a tetanus shot. What a deal!”
The deal grew legs –
A few weeks post-tetanus injection, I fell. Banged my shoulder into a bar rack, dropped the bar down my leg, and nearly tumbled out of the box. I tripped. Unfortunately, if I had lost consciousness it would have taken probably 2 hrs for anyone to find me. Fortunately, I only workout during the busiest times of the day and surely someone would have stepped over my body to grab their favorite barbell. Small favors.
In other news –
I think the phrase divide and conquer is code for we don’t want to work together but we’re being made to, so in the spirit of teamwork, you do what you’re gonna do and I’ll do what I’m gonna do and we’ll wait until the end for the work together part of this – Mini, most likely, based on a previous rendition of a group project
It appears our lives are a series of calamities. This is fun, right?
