Delicate Little Flower

Fainting Sunflowers, originally uploaded by Sabine Dukes.

I saw these little sunflowers on my way home from work yesterday and had to stop and take pics. I don’t carry my regular camera around right now, because with my injury, I can’t hold the camera up to take pics.

But I did have my trusty Motorola.

So I used my camphone instead and all was swell until I got super dizzy. The concussion effects leave me a bit swoony these days and i guess leaning over and doing all the posturing necessary to take these pics was too much.

I almost fainted right there in the field. Luckily, a few solid breaths later I was able to clambor back to my car and drive the 2.2 miles home. (where I milked it a bit for some lovey sympathy)

I have to admit to being a bit frustrated last night. Almost fainting in a field is just a wee bit pitiful…and I hate being pitiful.

I’m gonna have to go back to that field and show it who’s boss.

Oh yeah, almost forgot! Scar picture:

My expression went from “Oooooh!” with the flowers, to “Aaah” when you fainted and got your TLC then to “Eeeewww” with the scar.

Thanks for the 20 second roller coaster ride.
= ) Hope you feel better soon.

I think I’ve seen those little
flowers… Darn, about the fainty feeling…how is the promatoma? Latest name
for the pro hematoma from donna and bellas.

I felt faint yesterday on the BART when a series of odd happenings convinced me that there was about to be a terrorist attack. I don’t even have a concussion to blame for my brain’s reaction.

Nice! (Ouch!) Just like our Nick’s. One for putting the hardware in, one for takin’ it out. Hey…any fool can get a tatoo. You have to EARN a good scar. When you’re ready for rehab, we highly recommend this Testa Rx, copped from Mighty-Fine-Han’s webbie. It worked to perfection for us. Best wishes on your comeback.

Happy I found your blog. Used to talk Corralitos with you a teeny bit on MTBR. I actually spent my junior high and high school years on a house on Eureka Canyon. Now I can come back here for some memories!

Sorry about the crash, the ouchies, the faint feelings, but love the sunflowers.
