I fractured my wrist today at work. The timing of the events couldn't be played out more brilliantly.
5:00am - Arrive at my post at the "Generic Coffee Shop Franchise"
6:15am - Trip and fall on my hand
7:00am - Head to the emergency for X-Rays
9:00am - Leave the hospital with a cast on my hand
10:00am - At home watching F is For Family Season 2
I also got paid at work for my whole shift.
As I was waiting to do my X-Rays, I started thinking about what the earliest memory I have. I remember little flashes of stuff but I was trying to pinpoint what really stood out. It came to me on my way home from the hospital. When I was little, my family would travel a lot. I remember flashes of Singapore, Bangladesh and Hong Kong. I think on the way back from Singapore, my parents bought me a Batman toy. It wasn't an action figure but more of a 12" doll. I remember being really in love with it, especially the Bat-Symbol, which at the time I thought was the most beautiful thing ever. I came home and asked my dad if he remembered that time. He said he remembered me being at the duty-free shop just staring at it. Him and my mom were surprised because up until that point, I've never really asked to buy toys or anything. I pretty much just played with whatever toy my parents would find at the thrift stores where we bought our clothes. He was surprised that I still remembered that moment. I think that might have been the first time I have ever noticed anything Batman related, which started a lifelong obsession.
Song of the moment: Kamp! - Azure

Just me and my cast
