I didn’t think I’d be writing one more of these for a while, but this one really knocked the wind out of me.

This morning I left my apartment to get some lunch. I walked out the front porch when – swoosh! Thump!…. Thump! Thump! Thump! I had slipped and fallen on my butt on a step, then another, then another until I hit the ground. I got to my feet slowly, wincing at the sharp ache on my rear. The steps were covered with a sheen of ice.
I spent the entire day, sitting and standing, in a persistent state of humiliation and pain. Curse you landlord!
