In my living room, there's a section of hardwood flooring that stretches from the door to the kitchen. At the kitchen doorway, you can turn and go down the hallway. As we were getting ready to leave for church this morning, I headed from the kitchen, intending to go down the hallway. Instead, I went DOWN in the hallway. I had on thin black socks, which are really slippery, and I stepped just wrong and my feet flew out from under me and I took a pretty hard fall. It's the same ankle that I sprained in December--it's never gotten back to 100% but I'm not sure it contributed to the fall or not--the socks were really slick. (I'm going to choose to believe this is because my floors are so clean.) Anyway, I landed on my shoulder, hip and knee. There's a large metal return air grate in the hallway that helpfully caught my knee. Beyond feeling banged up, i didn't even realize that it had cut a nasty gash into my knee until I actually took my pants off to check it. The knee is a bit of a pain but the worst part by far is my shoulder. I can barely move the stupid thing. I'm sure it will be worse tomorrow.
So, that pretty much killed the rest of the day. I took not one but two naps today. Neither one of them was any good but I'm not accustomed to having even one nap--two is nearly unheard of. Evie spent the day trying to attach herself to her father's side by means of playing a game on his computer. She doesn't really love this game as much as she likes playing it with him. Then he went to do the grocery shopping since I wasn't feeling up to a trip myself and she decided to stay home, which was fine, until suddenly she remembered (at around the time he could be on his way home, of course) that she DID want to go with him because she wanted a cookie. Did you know that some grocery stores give away free cookies to kids? Even our Walmart (but not all Walmarts around) does it, and you know that Walmart is usually not very customer friendly. Anyway, she gets a cookie when we're done with the shopping, if she's been reasonably well-behaved. You would have thought that I had killed Santa Claus or something. She was irrationally mad at the world, but especially at me, for not providing her wiith a free Walmart cookie. She seemed to think that I would want to bake her a batch of cookies, or perhaps drive her to Walmart. Yeah. Right. No.
And now I have taken THREE naps today so I suppose it's time to go on to bed instead of writing more.
