Things that go bump in the night
Saturday night. Late, nearly 4 am. I had to pee. So I got up.
Now, I can function quite well in the dark--it's kind of a point of pride for me. I can move around most reasonably familiar surroundings in pitch darkness and never put a toe wrong.
Well. I didn't put a toe wrong, necessarily, but I did put my face wrong. I walked out of my bedroom, misjudged the turn in the hallway, and whacked my face right on the corner of the wall. Now my right brow and cheek bones are all swollen, and they hurt. There's no bruise visible at the moment, but I'm sure there will be a lovely yellow-green hue when it starts to heal. I'm glad I wasn't wearing my glasses; they probably would have been broken.
Hey! It's Monday, and it's pretty. I think I'll go for a bike ride.
