I did n't want to go , although I had been warned a week earlier about the birthday of a colleague of Leopoldo 's ; still I conspired to get out of it . Simple reasoning did n't work as I got The Sad Look ( and I ca n't deal with that ) . Injuring myself would n't work ; days earlier in a radical turn into the driveway I had an encounter with a tree branch that left me with a band aid on the bridge of my nose .
