calic0catOuch. That's all I can say. Big, big *ouch*.
Due to the power shortage, I didn't have to go in to work today (or Monday, or Tuesday, or most of last Friday...). This morning, my dad suggested we try hitching my Icelandic horse to the cart for the first time. I waffled, not sure it was a good idea; he thought it was. I caved.
Stupid me.
So far, I've been hurt *twice* by that horse and on both occasions it's been when I've gone against my own better judgement and done what my dad recommended (seeing as he's got more horse-handling experience than me). This time, I've got a badly scraped/bruised ankle (where she stepped on it), a nasty bump on my head and lovely gravel abrasions on my scalp from where my head hit the ground when she had hysterics and I couldn't get out of the way fast enough of her, the cart, and my dad. Oh, plus I have a very sore, bruised hip where I landed on the cart shaft and a sore, bruised lower back/butt where the horse landed on *me* when she tripped over the cart (she busted the harness and was dragging the cart, then turned and tried to go *over* it).
I did not *quite* blackout. I think. Though I definitely came darn close. I'm dreading the kind of shape I'll be in tomorrow morning; muscles always hurt worse the day *after* an injury.
Anyway, next part of Fragments should be out tomorrow (would have been out today but my head hurts too much to concentrate and it still needs a final editing pass).
