Well, my sister and I were both taken to the emergency room yesterday. We were out at my grandmother's house, but she and our mother left to go meet with one of my aunts and pick up our two cousins because my cousins and younger sister all spend a week together with our grandparents.

Basically, there's a massive tree swing at our grandmother's house and my sister begged me to go on it with her all day while it was pouring. When it stopped raining buckets, we went outside and I sat down on the swing. She was on the phone, but sat down on my lap - which we've done a bunch of times before - while she was still on the phone, and I pushed us into a backswing.

The swing broke and we were on the ground instantly, Mags (sister) started sort of freaking out on the phone to our mom... and I was like ya know... a big piece of wood should have hit us by now. So I turned over against the tree and covered my head, because I was positive my head was going to get bashed in by this 3 by 6 that was about 7 feet long with gigantic bolts in it, and I'd be out and dead instantaneously.

Stupid thing fucking fell on my ankle and cut up my sister's thigh. She jumped up and ran to the house yelling for our step dad and our step grandpa, and they came out and were like, "Oh shit you were serious." So we both had to go to the emergency room. Her leg had like 4 small gashes and the rest of it was just one big, red brush burn. And we just sat there in the waiting room while she was oozing all of this blood and crying.

She got wrapped up and put on antibiotics. I got x-rays, my ankle isn't broken but I have to see my orthopedist, so my ankle is wrapped and in a splint and I can't walk on it, so I have crutches.

So, that was my Sunday...
