The Wall: Take II

I hit the wall today, literally and physically! As I was walking out of the mess this morning, I tripped over my own feet a fell into a water-tight door. A slight sprain of my ankle and I realized it was time for me to get some rest. And to make sure of it, I got a wonderful migraine to remind me to rest.

I found Pat and told him of my "fall form grace" and "minor" headache. He laughed but for only a second. I would have also since I gave him a New York style off Broadway reenactment of my fall. He said we had a light day and to get some rest. I woke at midrats and had some fried food. I still felt pretty bad so I went back to bed. I guess what the most annoying part about all of it was that it was a beautiful day!
