help! i've fallen!

yup, down the stairs of my own home face first. i am black and blue and limping like mad. worst part of it all is that my phone was upstairs so i couldn't even call anyone to help me. who feels stupid? i do, i do!!! boy, do i love being a gimp.

i'm so sore today but at least i was able to get out of the house. i'm at my parents house and they're helping to take care of me. my mom was pissed that i drove myself over but i didn't really have any choice. i crawled up and down the stairs so i'm avoiding my home for a bit. my writing is crap today - i'm spacy. i'm okay, just whiny, bitchy, and mad at myself for falling. i'm scared that i'll have to move someplace that's safer or something. i hate admitting that i need help. why can't i just be normal again?

giant hair flower: merch booth at moisture festival
skeleton key cuff: bayousalvage.etsy.com
purple tights: nordstrom
burgundy side zip boots: frye
so while i recover, my plan is to ramp up my etsy shop. i'm gonna take it to the max! i've got some incredible and unexpected salvaged materials to work with (including the most fantastic onion sack ever created) and i'll be hard at work on embroidery and vintage upcycling. there's a good chance that my stuff will be modeled by my dressmakers dummy since getting dressed is quite painful at the moment. i also have those beautiful beaded collars to play with. some good things will happen!
