{{Bev}} No fun. Alas, most spills are unglamorous and not adventuresome.
Monday. So Much To Do! I did socialize yesterday so that was good. Today, all work, and watching Jan 6 hearing while working. Tomorrow, facial and mani/pedi.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, while it's not as cool as "I fell down a volcano," rollerskating still counts as a good story.
Or split the difference and tell people you tell down a volcano, rollerskating,

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Or split the difference and tell people you tell down a volcano, rollerskating
This is the way.
Yikes, Bev! But glad it was more or less minor when all is said and done. And forgive me, but I can't stop giggling at the Looney Tunes bit with the loose sock.
DH was Alarmed, hovering, asking questions, and if you'd just wait a minute until I can quit howling in pain and get my breath back I'll reassure you
Several years back, when I sprained my ankle while building a snowman (you'd think building a snowman wouldn't be dangerous, but my superpower is the ability to injure myself in the most innocuous of situations), the way my ankle gave out made me fall down. In several inches of snow. In the front yard, where anyone peering out their window could have seen. And the thing was, the way I sprained my ankle, it didn't hurt immediately, but I knew that in about 20 seconds, the pain was going to hit, so it was better that I just stayed down until that happened. Tim, of course, wanted to help me up, but I just laid there in the snow saying "Just leave me here! Just leave me here!"
Later, he said that he really hoped none of the neighbors watched (1) me fall and (2) him seemingly ignoring me and letting me languish in the snow.

Bev! Glad you are more or less OK.
People in general -- stop hurting yourselves, please. Thanks.
I am out running errands this morning. New windshield wipers next...

Oh Bev! What a scene. Very glad that the damage (to you and otherwise) is minor enough to already be laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Also, I have nearly taken myself out on too-long pajama legs more than one time, so I feel you.
Fingers crossed for swift healing to both you and Pix!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woo to the hoo, Jess! Congrats!
if I ever lose my mind and try to go for a doctorate, just smack me in the back of the head until I come to my senses please.
I am making a note but I'm sure I will forget.
Healing vibes to all y'all daredevils rollerskating off of volcanoes and whatnot

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
People in general -- stop hurting yourselves, please. Thanks.
Since I learned that I tend to have low sodium and finally found a supplement that seems to work, I've been much better at not hurting myself.
Hope everyone heals quickly.

I hope your travels are going as well as possible, Pix.

Travel~ma, Pix!
Bev, feel better.
Seconding Buffistas not hurting themselves and I’m glad I don’t have to wrap Cass in bubble wrap anymore.
ltc is sick, probably the flu and is absolutely infuriated about missing school. I had to do my last meetings with my current therapist virtually, and I’m trying to decide if I need to cancel Christmas Eve, which I’m hosting for the first time ever.
