WIPEOUT!

I seriously have not fallen down the steps in years but as soon as I start this blog it's like a curse.

Slipped on our exterior steps today because of the ice. The wooden deck was fully thawed, which lulled me into false information on our steps, which are made from the Trex-type material and is slippery in ice and rain. I think even if we put treads on this bear, they would have been so encased in ice it would not have mattered.

Further misinformation was synthesized by the fact that I ran UP the steps to start my car and experienced NO problems. It was on coming down that my foot went up in the air like it had landed on that proverbial cartoon banana peel and I slid down the next 3 steps, grazing my foot as it bent underneath me, my left forearm and my poor tuchus (not to mention my pride).

I hobbled my sobbing sore self into the house and calmed down from the shock for a bit. Apparently I didn't cry loud enough because DH (dear husband) continued to doze peacefully upstairs.

Oh well. Took my big Advil and am awaiting stiffness and pain.
