Near Death Experience (or something in the basic genre)
I slipped over in the bathroom today. The floor was wet. Typically it was when I only had about ten minutes left to get dressed and ready for work. Usually I'm very careful because about ten years ago, the sister of a friend of mine was killed when she slipped and hit her head. I don't really know what happened today.
I'm bitterly disappointed that I don't have any visible marks. I was very lucky - I only have a mild ache in my wrist, arm, shoulder, knee, leg and toes on the right side. I did that thing where I was falling and decided I'd injure myself less if I didn't fight it. I was right. Then I decided to lie there on the floor for a moment giggling. Fleep even ran in to see what had happened. The little bastard didn't help me up though, did he?
It serves me right really. My mum bought me a fuzzy bathroom mat and one of those mats that hugs the base of your toilet. I had decided I wouldn't put them down until I could do so as a reward for cleaning my bathroom. D'oh. I'm an idiot.
