It is very very late on a Tuesday night. Karen and I are lying in bed, in the dark. [Yellowphant][] is dozing, but he is the only one.<\/p>\n

Karen: *I’m hungry.*<\/p>\n
Me: *Hey, me too!*<\/p>\n
Karen: *Let’s eat!*<\/p>\n
We leapt out of bed and dashed down to the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Karen: *What shall we have?*<\/p>\n
Me: *What have we got?*<\/p>\n
Karen: *Jam!*<\/p>\n
Me: *Yay!*<\/p>\n
Karen sliced up some bread while I grabbed the margarine and jam from the fridge. We formed a small production line, where I margarined the bread and Karen jammed it. This was all just too exciting.<\/p>\n
Me: *I’ve got an [earworm][]. Made Up Lovesong #43 from [From The Cliffs][]. I have to listen to it. The way I see it, we’ve got two options.*<\/p>\n

Karen: *Which are?*<\/p>\n
Me: *I can either go out to the car in my pyjamas and slippers to get the CD, or I can turn your computer on temporarily.*<\/p>\n
Karen: *Go and turn my computer on. I’ll finish up spreading this jam and I’ll be right up.*<\/p>\n
Me: *Yay!*<\/p>\n
At this point, things went a little downhill. I was so incredibly insanely excited at this point, that I skipped through the kitchen towards the stairs. Skipping in itself isn’t dangerous, but when you are over 6′ tall, you should look out for doorways.<\/p>\n
The doorframe came down squarely on the top of my head. I heard a disturbing little ring, like someone had struck a very small bell inside my skull.<\/p>\n
Me: *Ow. Ow. Actually, it doesn’t hurt yet, but it will when the shock wears off, so I’m investing my ows up front.*<\/p>\n
Karen equipped me with a small ice pack while I clutched at the top of my head, moaning. But then I had jam and a very good Guillemots song to listen to on repeat, so life didn’t seem quite so bad anymore.<\/p>\n
Karen: *I was very worried when you started owing. I thought you’d broken your foot again.*<\/p>\n
We then took this opportunity to reminisce about some of my greater illnesses and maladies over the last few years, some of which are documented [on this site][] in a most interesting way, some of which are not ((including the terrifically uncomfortable toe-stubbing incident and the fantastically gory wisdom tooth extraction)).<\/p>\n

This morning, the top of my head felt a little sore in the shower, but I don’t seem to have developed the phenomenal lump that seemed inevitable. Thanks heavens for ice packs, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
