Guess how many times I fell down at work today.
Two.
This would not be so bad...except the first spill was right in front of my class while teaching, and the second was...down the stairs. No one saw the latter fall, but I almost wish someone had. B/c it HURT and I was a little scared and all alone and I just sat there for a few minutes, nursing my bruises. If someone else had been there, I would've been all bravado and got right back up. ::sigh::
The fall in the classroom? I slipped on the freshly-waxed floor, turned my ankle in my (totally adorable turquoise faux-reptile) wedge heels, and skidded to my knees and elbow. I'm not entirely convinced I didn't flash the students right in front of me. I hope I didn't.
I got floor burn from that one.
I wore my bite guard to work today--so on top of being a ridiculous falling person, I had a lisp all day b/c the guard, while you can't see it, makes it hard to make S & L sounds. I told my students why I was lisping--they're aware that I've been having problems with my jaw. So, yeah. Awkward day on the whole.
Wearing the bite guard all day did seem to help,though. I wasn't in nearly as much pain as I was yesterday or as I have been this evening. I went out to dinner (didn't feel like cooking & I wanted a margarita) and so I left the guard at home. And nearly dropped to my knees in the fabric store when I moved my mouth the wrong way.
So, anyway. Falling down. Continued jaw pain. Is it any wonder I'm exhausted?
