I was on the TTC heading out to the airport today, to fly to work tonight, it was standing room only.

Not really sure why it was so busy but I crammed myself, and my luggage, in the corner of the car and held on!

Well about 75% through my subway ride as we were pulling into the station the driver slammed on the brakes and we all went flying.

Well I should not really say «WE» because I was standing up with my back against the wall/door at the front of the subway car, I should say THEY all came flying at me.

OK so not a big deal right?  Well an elbow managed to connect with my nose and when I say «connect» I really mean smashed into my nose.

End result; I got a massive nose bleed. Not a drip-drip nose bleed, I mean I bled all over the front of myself 'soaking' me and my uniform in blood.

Will skip ahead and say that I then ended up turning around and coming home to clean up; however, that did not leave me enough time to wash my uniform¹ and then get back out to the airport to catch my flight to make it to work on time.

Plus I was not feeling so good after, kind of dizzy, queasy and I had a wicked headache.

I am hoping that I don't get a black eye(s) because that would not be fun.

Then to top it all off I realised that I somehow, while getting smashed in the face, chipped my tooth and now my filling is loose so I have to go tomorrow to get that fixed.

I am going to wrap myself up with blankets and pillows and then lay on the bed and hope nothing else happens today...

1. yes I could have used a spare shirt as I do have many but my jacket and sweater had blood on it↩
