there i was walking into the breakroom, minding my bidness, and lo and beholt. PAN DULCE!!!!!!
ok
for all you non south Texans its bakery goods, and there are these little gingerbread "piggies" ahhh "maranitos"
that are abSOLUTLY FREEKING good. nnuff said bout the sweetbread
the phone rang and i moved rather too quickly for the plastic floormat to hold when i put on the breaks...
ya.
down went Ranchie, in a slow deathroll only seen on most cheep disaster movies.
up went the piggie.
after the richter scale settled to normal, did i find said ginger critter, safe and sound on the chair.
concerned looking boss did look at me funny though. but i saved the piggy.
I know not so funny n all but the brightten part is it didnt hurt too bad hitting the floor!
RH - glad you are still moving. The good thing is that you can see the humour in this too!
Buddy up here - last week - went out on the steps - 3am, its cold as heck around here - ice on the steps. As he said - his feet flew out in front of him and he was bouncing on the steps - Butt first - as he travelled down the steps into his yard!
He was not too hurt - but did see the humour thinking about how it would look - to someone watching!

Ya It was a slow oooohhhh pooo moment for me what can ya do? but thank God it didnt hurt too much and Two... no one saw!
What are you trying to do - make me look good?
All in all I am glad you didn't hurt more than your pride.
It's a bit comical, don'tcha think - the moves we make trying desperately not to hit the ground? Usually, I am more sore from using muscles I don't normally use when trying to not fall than from the actual fall.
I decided one day that I would just let the inevitable happen and just fall already, but my survivor instincts will not allow that... Must... Fight... At... All... Cost!

Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

If i was an olympian, i prolly would have got either a solid 10...for effort. or kicked out of the room. i fall pretty good actually with all the grace of the truly phat and ungainly, kidding. there is a skid mark on the ceiling from the first gingerbread piggy reaching escape velocity! we are tougher than we think...I think.
there is the fear of more pain caused by accident, than the accident itself, granted it was a small one in the scheme of things,
so here i stand guilty of my own non following of advice, dont fear the future, coz it happens, and only then can you act to remedy what happens...know what I mean?
on the coffie break in btween the bad action Van-Dam slo mo like mo-lassas epic battle against gravity(took longer to fall actually) than say it, i was thinking bout fear, it happend, i was ok, move on.
hope all your fall isnt bad, git up , dust the crumbs, and giggle if ya can!
