the cosmos
yesterday, I walked around in a daze, like a muddle headed wombat. My head felt like it was full of cotton wool. I felt so ungrounded. I decided to move furniture around & give the kitchen a little bit of Christmas spirit. not a good idea in the frame of mind i was in. I had this gorgeous glass jar, full of water, with seashells sitting in the bottom and floating candles on top. It slipped from my fingers and as it went down - I remember thinking - oh that is going to hit my foot, I wonder if it will cut it? and down the vase went - smashing to bits and hitting my foot. I looked and it seemed ok, a little nick over the bridge of my foot - not too bad - until the blood started. Of course no bandaid to be found and anyhow, bandaids weren't going to be fixing this. I grabbed a towel and put it over the cut - looking to see how bad it was - there was one puncture mark in the cut that went quite deep. what to do? improvise. with what? All I could find was a sanitary pad - so I folded that, held it tight and strapped sticky tape all over my foot and wrapped it in a towel. then went to bed. this morning my foot is bruised and really sore. I don't think it needed stitching and it seems to be ok.
so with that and an email I received this morning pointing out some less than perfect character traits of mine - I am feeling a little low. And of course, me being me - I fired an email back and wished I hadn't - lesson for today - think before you click send.

Awww man, that sucks arse (sorry to be crude!). I did giggle when I read that you used a sanitary pad as a bandaid though - eep! I hope it gets better soon - a sore toe can really be a pain in the butt - but I'm sure you know this already.
As to thinking before one clicks and sends - yeah, I know what you mean! I read every email I send now to make sure that it won't be taken as offensive - I've been caught out where the most innocent thing has been taken as a snide remark - words without inflections can be interpreted so many ways! Argh!
I hope today things look up for you!
Oh, and Mona is Beeeaauuuutiful Ms Robyn - you clever doll maker, you!
Careful 28% and waning the dark day is coming soon hence your accident with the vase.
I'm sorry you've had a rough couple days and are feeling low - sending you warm hugs and healing energy for that foot (you are mighty creative, a pad and sticky tape, heehee). I always love getting your comments on my blog - your energy is so sweet!
xox
I'm not sure you would ever send anything offensive Robyn...perhaps it's the person who sent the email to you, who should think before they click. I'm sorry to hear about your foot...I hope it will be okay.
xx
Ack! I had a similar accident, and quickly applied a tourniquet to staunch the bleeding. Poor dear! Maybe it's a sign that you need to get some rest. xoxo
Sorry to hear about your foot. The sanitary napkin thing. As a Girl Scout leader we were taught to have them in our First Aid kits, just for that purpose. Sometimes it seems to me to be hard to get the correct point accross in e-mail or IM's. So I wouldn't worry to much.
just cant understand WHY these people feel the need to comment on personal things. Shame on them Robyn, and dont worry about it!
You definitely sound like a kindred spirit to me! I seem to try to do too much at once and need to slow down and breathe!
Hope your cut heals soon!
The sanitary napkin is a solution only a woman would think of. That is so funny and practical. I don't know what it is with people that they think they can freely write and same all sorts of unkind things but just consider the source hon, block that email addy, and consider yourself hugely hugged by this California Girl.
Sorry about your foot. Those people sending you the stupid emails are the ones who should think before they click. grrrrrr
Sorry for your bad day - I am sending good thoughts your way for a better one. Take care of your foot too, and thanks for your comments and suggestions about beating this bug!
I hope your foot is better today ~ I am sending you only love and prayers!
Oh, poor you, Robyn! Hope you're feeling better by now. I was very entertained by your email about the post office and wrote about you in my piece today. You are wonderful and it was just a bad day; don't let it get you down.
ditto what Sheila said!!!
Sending healing footsie vibes. How could anyone send you offensive email? You are too nice. Maybe they need to get a life? xoxoxo
You are so sweet....sorry about your foot. Yes those sanitary napkins come in handy don't they?
:-)
Sorry to hear about your foot but seems you're a very innovative gal when it comes to "emergencies".... sanitary pad and stick tape!! I had a chuckle over that.
As for people pointing out flaws maybe they should look in the mirror before sending comments to you. We all have little things that someone else may not like. So what!! They should just get over it! Life is too short for all that kind of nonsense. I like you just the way you are....
WHO in the heck is emailing you ? People who point out other's flaws are really only mirroring their OWN! HAH! I have finally learned to TRY not take things personally anymore. You are giving the other person power.!!! WEll..,.okay... I am still learning! You are way too cool of a person to let that petty junk bother you! YOu GO ,girl!
Ouch, do hope that cut on your foot heals real soon...I don't think I would have thought of using a sanitary napkin but you know, that's a brilliant idea!! lol I will never understand people who hurt others by saying nasty things...they must be so very unhappy in their own lives. Hugs xoxo
Aloha Robyn,
sorrie your days arn't going as the universe would allow..Sometimes life is muckie and drags us in every direction. I finally figured out the blog..I wasnt using BEta and although I joined it kept booting me.. Live n learn..lol..SSSSSSooo I switched to Beta and all is groovie again..Got your dolly swap email and your other one about the GS group. I agree it is big..but I hope you'll still talk to us?
Hugs and peace n fluffie fairies!!
Kai.
Oh, Ms. Robyn,
I hope you are feeling better. I love Miss Mona. She is be-you-ti-ful. Makes me even more excited about the doll swap.
Sandi
Yay! I can comment again....
Listen. You don't pay any attention to that little email from the person who seems to think it's okay to put all their garbage onto you.
Don't take it Robyn. Block them and forget them.
WE love you!!!
xoxoxo
What a day you have had. Take care of your foot. And, please let me say that I think you have WONDERFUL CHARACTER traits,,so there! You can tell whoever wrote you that nonsense just doesn't know you.
Hugs,
Beth
Oh I'm sorry about your day....but I relly had to laugh about the sanitary napkin thing...though.I've the the Toilet paper and tape thing myself in desparate times.......hope tomorrow is a better day...
Dear Robyn,
I am so sorry about your accident with the vase. I am really surprised you didn't have to go to the hospital for stiches. You should get an A++ for your imagination with the sanitary pad. It sounds like it did the trick.
Those kind of people who e-mail you are just plain mean. Don't let one person get you down when you know the rest of us care so much about you.
Hope your foot feels better soon.
Hugs,
Connie
Hi miss*R
I'm so sorry about your foot! But you had the wits to take care of yourself. Good thinking on the maxi pad! We used to tie them around sticks to make wonderful torches for bonfires. Ah, the many uses.
I asked my niece what she does when people say mean things. She offered this advice:
"I am rubber
You are glue.
Everything you say
bounces off of me
and sticks onto you."
That's a child's undertanding of the psychological notion of projection. Someone critiqued you because something in you vaguely reminds her of her own deep flaws.
I can't believe any sane person would send you a rude email, I'm not surprised you felt low. I'm always doing stuff to my feet, so I am sympathising with you.
hugs

OMG Robyn!!! Is it ok? Don't put off getting stiches if you need them! A napkin! Those things sure do come in handy. I was tought, on a flight somewhere, they are excellent when a child spills ketchup all over your shirt. They don't pill like paper towels! Every house should keep them! hehe. Hope your foot is better. Ouch. And no pics? We need a little gore every once in a while to keep us on our toes!
Who are these nutters who send you offensive emails? take no notice Robyn, sorry about the foot, I once hurt my eye and had to go to the docs with a sanitory pad over it! not a good look but needs must!
