I've come to realize that I'm pretty much a living cartoon character and the constant victim of what would in any media apart from my daily life be knee-slapping slapstick comedy. I've decided to start chronicling these calamities as they come. Maybe they'll be good for use in some future creative piece. If nothing else, maybe they'll provide you with a good laugh. Feel free to share any calamitous happenings in your own life, as well.

My latest calamity is not so much a full-fledged calamity as a mildy amusing (if it hadn't happened to me) annoyance.

There are several bolts for removing the climate control box (which contains the heater core) from the Blazer that are extremely inconvenient and/or just difficult to reach. Two are only accessible by removing the inner fender well, which supports a lot of things including the battery and the coolant overflow reservoir, both of which fell on my head when I removed it. One is deep down inside a narrow hole (the one I had to put together that contraption with the wrench, screwdriver, and flashlight to remove) and two are close to the very middle of the firewall (the front of the passenger compartment at the rear of the engine bay), which are plain hard to reach, being so far away and with that end of the car raised up into the air (to access the fender well).

Well, my crisis came after leaning way over the fender to reach those top three bolts (the one in the hole and the two in the middle, one being very far down). While trying to reach them, I leaned on the fender and at times rest my entire body weight on the edge of the fender. Then, when it was time to put it all back together, I did the same thing, except I spent more time that way because the climate control box was being a stubborn cunt. It made me feel a little sore where my weight was resting on the edge of the fender, but there wasn't really any other way to reach. Afterwards, while taking a shower, I noticed a long, thin, bruised line straight across my body right where the fender was pressing. What's worse is the bruising is right where the underwire on my bra rests, which makes it really uncomfortable if not painful to wear one.

I have a corset I could have worn, but I've lost weight and it doesn't really fit right anymore. I also have an underbust corset, but it would defeat the purpose in this case and be just as painful. So I guess I'm going commando the next few days =/ I guess I'll just avoid jogging lol.

Only me.
