Fainting: not that nice

It would seem that I'm a little more burnt out than I realised, if today morning is anything to go by. I don't think I've ever properly fainted before... panic attacks, near-fainting, dizzy spells, yes, but not full loss of consciousness and a rather more forceful contact with the hallway floor than I'd have liked to have experienced.

I have a feeling my left shoulder and hip (which seem to have taken the brunt of the fall, of which I have absolutely no recollection - when I came to, I did wonder for a while why I'd decided to lie down on the floor and not bed, where I was planning to head once I realised I was blacking out) will be somewhat black and blue in the coming days, but I seem to have been fortunate enough not to break anything. Apart from a strong bent in one handle of the glasses' (the only ones I have now) frames, which is now at a most awkward angle... usable but not very comfortable. Now I really do think I'll need a new pair of glasses.

And a small gash at the brow... I think the frames must have cut into the flesh. Fortunately it looks worse than it is, which is just a scratch, really, was just bleeding a little more as head wounds are wont to do... but I do have a bit of a headache on that side too. I suppose I must have bumped my head as well.

Pah. Not going to the office today, obviously, although after having lied down for a few hours I am feeling a little stronger again. I might even be able to do some work today. At least my sight and hearing seem back to normal and the terrible coldness is gone. I'm just a little shaken, which probably makes sense. I'm mostly just glad it hit me as I was going to have a shower and not five minutes later or so... wouldn't really have wanted to collapse in the bathtub
