Beating Yourself Up

I fell this weekend, and cut my leg / bruised my thigh and cut up my hands. I was running hard, away from a wall of color coming at me (at a festival, my daughter was trying to throw color in my hair and I didn't want to be bright pink).

I tried to bank hard left running at full speed. I was wearing very old shoes and they slipped and I flipped end over end and hit the concrete on my right side. I rolled instinctively (years of skateboarding paying off) and broke the fall on my right side coming over with my left hand. The hand hit the ground so hard I couldn't feel anything in it. I was bleeding pretty bad.

Later that night we tried to raid Bastion of Twilight and a particular combination of drakes were up. I had completed this fight before, but not really thinking things out - I realized later , after multiple epic fail - that the fight really was different than the one I'd done. I was pretty upset about not being able to interrupt a spellcast that seemed to cause alot of damage to the group.

Until I found out it had a .25 second spellcast time later on the next day.

I'm tired of feeling like this. I am upset at being beaten and bruised. All I really want to do is work, today. The day dawned cold and gray. Some days are diamonds.

Some days are coal.
