I have wooden steps that go up to a walkway leading to my apartment...I think there are like 6 of them. I've successfully traveled up and down them many times, even in my really tall
black boots.
This morning...not so much.
The funny thing is I have no idea how it happened. I just know that I went straight down on my knees---I have bad knees anyway, so that felt great---and the heels from my boots went right into my tailbone. I didn't drop anything other than my keys and I didn't go forward onto my hands or face--which is a good thing. My left ankle is really sore though, so I think I must have twisted it and that caused the fall.
I did 3 things after this.....
I popped right up and made sure no one saw :-)
I got into the car and said "Praise God, it's gonna be a great day!"
And then I made sure my pants were not torn and did inventory of my injuries.
My knees are scraped up like a 5 year old who fell off her bike, the top of my right foot is scraped up as well. The rest is all internal, really sore kind've stuff, like I just got my behind whooped on. And a headache.
So I made it to work, got some bandaids on my knees and here I am at my desk trying not to move too much, because everything is throbbing.
Ooohhhhh boy....it does make me laugh.
