I am such a fool....
I went to pick up Little MB at her dad's house about an hour ago.

As I was walking from the parking lot to the apartment, I failed to notice the sheet of ice covering the path. Well, I'm sure you all know what happened next - Down I went, on my hands and knees, face in the ice.

I had to knock on his door with wet jeans knees, bloodied palms, with my soaking glasses in hand.

To his credit, he immediately called the property management office to complain while handing me some bandaids and tissues to wipe my glasses down.

I felt like such a dork!

11. He never fails to amaze me though.
I could see that he was quite concerned - I think he may still carry a small torch.

2. Sorry to hear that.
I had a little fall on campus just this past week.

Hope you heal quickly.

6. I am not badly damaged.
Funny, my fibromyalgia had not been acting up much this past month, surprisingly enough, so I end up wiping out on the ice - perhaps my subconscious could not deal without evil, nasty pain.

:says the dork who tripped over her own filing cabinet drawer Saturday and whose left leg looks like it was eaten by a badger:

10. Yeah. As I was headed south during the fall my only thought was
'Lord don't let me hit my head on the wood trim of the sofa, because if I'm dying those assholes in the backyard will never hear me'.

12. omg Midlo.
I'm glad you're okay - albeit badger-bitten :rofl:

When I walk the little terrier terror at 4am, I am always terrified I'm gonna bite it since no one would find me for hours.

13. Series. They were all in the backyard sitting around the fireplace
having a grand old time, making smores, etc.

Me? I'm eagerly waiting for Death in my office to relieve the pain. LOL.

16. I'm usually graceful as hell on the ice.
Of course, I'm usually wearing SKATES then. :P

So yeah... I've fallen none to gently twice this winter already. First time I avoided any injury worse than a mild bruise, but the second one I twisted my ankle and it hurt for the next couple of days.
