sirona_ficsIt is rare in the extreme that I post to my LJ twice in one day, but I wanted to share something with you all.
hubris or hybris [ˈhjuːbrɪs]
— n
1. pride or arrogance
2. (in Greek tragedy) an excess of ambition, pride, etc, ultimately causing the transgressor's ruin
Example: when Sirona thinks she has sufficiently recovered from her back surgery to regain full use of her legs and feet, and thus thinks she is perfectly justified in wearing heels again. So she climbs up a chair, pulls down the shoes with a one inch heel she wore all Summer last year, and puts them on for work. Then she walks into the elevator -- and promptly sprains her ankle. Cue X-rays, Orthopaedic examinations, an ankle bandage and ice. Lots of ice.
Fun times.
At least that means plenty of time to finish That Story for my deadline tomorrow. I just hope my ankle's well enough to go to my best friend's wedding this Saturday without a bandage. D:
