Kidney punched by a planet

Well, Saturdays are usually one of my easy days to get to work. The rest of the world is sleeping in while I am up and about at my usual time. I get to work, and get on with my day. Today, however, things did not go as planned. About 3 miles from work, I ran into traffic. And it didn't stop. I took over an hour to go 2 of the last 3 miles, and then took about 5 minutes to go the last mile because I parked my car at the beach parking lot, and got out and ran to work so I could get there before lunch.

After an eventful morning of scrubbing, I was getting out of one pool and preparing to sit on the ledge and rest for a moment, however, gravity had different plans for me: I missed my target by about 2 inches and fell flat on my back with my weight belt still around my waist. One of the 4lb lead weights was smacked into my left kidney, essentially making the planet Earth kidney punch me. It was hilarious at the time, and my scrubbing partner and I almost killed ourselves laughing, and then I tried to sit up, and realized how painful the rest of my day was going to be because I could no longer bend over to pick things up. WHOOPIE! Oh, and I had to go fill 15 air tanks about an hour later.

Have to do better tomorrow.
