So, yes, we have been a little quiet lately.  Sorry.  But that’s not the apology in the title.  We are gearing up for the move from Westmount back to St. Laurent, and as you can imagine, there is a lot of physical work that is involved.  Lots of running back and forth, organizing, cleaning, packing… Which makes last week’s ankle break and dislocation on my part just really, really crappy timing.

Seriously.  I got my heel caught on a stupid stair, cracked all three bones in my ankle, then managed to move those bones around a bit… Now I have 2 steel plates and about 9 screws holding my ankle together, along with a prehistoric looking half-cast that weighs about 35 lbs and some crutches.  As you can all imagine, I’m just a graceful, floating, balanced angel.  Ahahahahaha.  Ha.

So, this post is an apology to Amanda for my crappy timing.  I would never choose to break my ankle because it is incredibly painful and I am a big baby.  But if I had to choose a time to have broken it, I can tell you with all of my heart, it would NOT have been 2 weeks before moving our store.  It just wouldn’t. 

An “add-on” sorry is going to have to be thrown out to Sally, who has graciously agreed to take 2 days off from her job to come in and help with the organization and logistics of the move.  Funnily enough, it’s sort of a double-edged thing, because it also happens to be a “You’re welcome” to Amanda because potentially, without my ‘pathetickying‘ it up this weekend (yes, I made that word up… basically it means ‘hamming it up’ but pathetically.  It still doesn’t really work does it?  I think you get my point though…), Sal may not have agreed to come in and help.

It seems like there are many “apologies” and “you’re welcomes” flying around.  For example, to my parents, I’m sorry that you have somehow managed to find yourselves caring for me as if I were a toddler.  But to my sister, you’re welcome that Mom & Dad are doing it and you’re off the hook.  To my friends Annabel and Alex, I’m sorry that I chose to break my ankle 15 minutes before the event that I was helping you to organize for your theatre company.  On the other hand, Annabel and Alex, you’re welcome, because the dramatic exit that I made from the event, as guests were arriving, may have contributed to them spending more $$ at the event because they were thankful that it was not THEM who just busted the sh*t out of their ankle??  Or maybe not…

The point of all this?? My sincere apologies to Amanda, and everyone, really, who is going to have to pick up my slack in the coming 6 weeks.  I’m more annoyed and frustrated than I can put into words, that I managed to do something like this at what is without a doubt THE most inconvenient time ever.  In the history of the world.  Ok, now I’m just being dramatic… In any case, stay tuned as there will be more dets on the coming crazy move back to St. Lo, and new stock, and fun contests, and beautiful clothes… and all that good stuff.
