It's also the season for tripping (falling) up stairs. Who started this string of the clumsies?!?
I tripped & fell forward this morning going up 2 steps from my garage into my house & am lucky my head is hard enough to survive the blow when skull met wooden doorframe. I can only say, I am very glad I do not live in a house made of concrete. I expected a far worse headache than I ended up with & no visible bruise through my very short hair & no bump. I was sure I was going to have big old goose egg of a bump. The slight pressure behind my left eye and a bit of dizzyness & nausea are all gone, well maybe the pressure behind the left eye feels as though it has been lingering. I am beginning to think my baby brother has the right idea and a single story house is the best option as we age (he and I, not the rest of y'all.)
Thankfully I was not carrying an open container of mica or lye when that happened! In fact, I know better than carrying anything not well contained (with a secure lid) when I walk up or down stairs, even on my most agile of days.
