Welp, just posted something to Twitter that will almost certainly fill my @s with outraged right wingers. This should be fun.

I mowed the lawn earlier and my stupid bad left ankle went out on me and I fell on my ass in a pratfall worthy of Dick van Dyke. It was the front yard, too, but I don't think any neighbors saw me fall.

My ankle hurts a lot, but I have it elevated and I have ice on it and I took ibuprofen. The whole reason I'm sharing this is because my plan for the day after mowing was to go to the grocery store and do my laundry. I deserve a giant gold star for NOT going to the grocery store and not going up and down the stairs to do my laundry. Can you believe I'm being sensible??? (Although the fact that I'm being sensible should tell you how much my stupid ankle hurts. I need a robotic ankle.)

I *did* finish mowing the lawn after I fell down, though. I mean, come on. I'm not COMPLETELY sensible. I will by god checkerboard that lawn when I mow, even with a busted ankle.

Good job being semi-sensible, Tep. Maybe 3/4 of a gold star? Electrum star?

I fell off my front porch once, just completely faceplanted on the lawn. None of my neighbors saw, apparently. My first reaction was relief that no one witnessed that. My second was alarm that I could've really hurt myself and nobody would have noticed. But, hey, hasn't happened since.

The celebratory lunch for my great grand boss getting promoted to VP was scheduled for an hour and a half and only lasted 37 minutes. Seems like I should be able to draw some kind of conclusion from that, but I have no idea what.

Hey, the lawn looks GREAT, tho.

See this is why I let the clover and dandelion take over and refer to my front lawn as a "meadow."

I was literally just marveling at the patterns on baseball grass, so you can imagine how impressed I am that I know someone who would checkerboard her own lawn.

DHS cannot keep kids indefinitely, no more than 20 days. Expect court challenges.

I was standing at this exact spot this morning, about 8½ hours before the ceiling collapsed.

Thanks to all you Buffistas, the discussion here has eased my dim mood a little. I slept restless last night, including a nightmare where a tornado was threatening my family's beach house and I couldn't get anyone to hide in the inside room with me.

Paging Dr. Freud...

Holy shit, Tom!

It's a good thing this happened before rush hour, or there would have been dozens of injuries.
