BrigaMOON

I will have to talk about blue because I can't take any more pictures. You see, I broke my camera. Oh, plahh. I liked that camera.

The night after Brig died was also the night for a total lunar eclipse (8/28/07, 2:52 am). It's kinda reddish, it should have been a BLUE moon. Because of the day and all, En called it the "BrigaMoon". She texted me to remind me so I got my camera and headed out on the balcony. It faces north, the moon was south. I needed a tripod or something to steady my hand since I didn't have time to relearn how to change the exposure settings as the eclipse was already in progress. So I headed downstairs to go out front. Da doesn't sleep very soundly, so I was being quiet, trying not to disturb him. I didn't turn any lights on, either. Then... I missed the last step and went sprawling on the tile entry floor. In spite of my stealth, the clattering of the camera woke Da as it lost its batteries all across the room. Stunned, I just lay face down on the tile for a bit. I can't remember the last time I fell so well. (I think it was when I was pregnant with En.) Us handicapped people NEED lights.

In the end, I got some pictures but the camera kept losing the date/time and turning itself off. It will cost too much to repair so I think I will be getting a new one soon.

Today is a week after my fall and my knees are a nice shade of BLUE. The right one is still all puffy and swollen and gooshy and gross. It doesn't hurt, though. I will survive.
