*poke* ow. *poke* ow...

I did some shopping after work yesterday, and teetered home on what seemed to be one nice long ice-rink all the way home. I slid and slipped around under the overpass, down the hill and made it almost to my front door before I wiped out. Minnesota breakdancing at it's finest, I tell ya. I was helped up by someone who fell two days before and had a brace on his knee. Happily I wasn't hurt as badly as he was; just a bruise on my knee and a bigger one on my elbow....that I keep bumping....and that aggravated tendon in my hip....goddammit...

So I decided to just wolf down my sushi, get a bath in, ice-pack my elbow and go to bed. Which I did.

That's the part about winter I'm not too happy about; The way it makes no bones about reminding you *exactly* how fragile you are.

*Pokes elbow gently and winces*

Hi, I know this is exceedingly random, but could you please comment on cuddled's journal? She seems to be a really nice person, and she's looking for 1000 comments by Christmas. If you don't want to, that's ok, but I, and she, would really apprieciate your time.
You can comment here, (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cuddled/58913.html) if you're feeling nice.

Merry Christmas, or Happy Hanukah, or Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever you celebrate. :)

I usually take a fall at least once each winter. If you only fall the one time this winter then, just think, you've already gotten it in, and you're safe for the end of the season.

I won't mention the fact it isn't officially winter yet.

Oops... I guess I did just mention it. Sorry.

I was in second grade and the schoolyard was covered in icy patches. It also slanted upward. I was heading up the hill to where we had to get in line and don't ya know it, my feet fly right out from under me and I fall back and crack my head. And NO ONE helped me up. :(

*Gak* I don't miss those Minnesota winters! I feel bad, because when someone escapes, another Minnesotan has to take the fall for them. That's why some people fall more than once in a winter. Minnesota just has a cruel sense of humor.
