Got up early this morning and took my coffee outside on the patio and enjoyed the sunrise. The sun was taking a gloriously slow rise behind a bunch of trees. The light shining through revealed the spiders beautiful handy work from last night. The threads glistened everywhere. The little flying grass bugs were waking up and sparkled in the sunlight as they buzzed around. The birds were all chirping and zipping from tree to tree. I watched a Robin pick a berry from a bush and flew to a branch to eat it.
It wasn’t long before the sun made it up over the trees. I could feel the humidity rising as what little dew was on the grass began to evaporate.The early morning air smelt so good. I sat outside for a little while longer and enjoyed my little garden spot of the universe. All seemed so right with the world.
All my senses are up and alert and it is time to start my day. I went into the kitchen and put an English muffin into the toaster, fired up my “work” computer and then went to the refrigerator and poured myself a large glass of orange juice. As I walking around the counter sipping of my juice is when it happened…. I slipped and fell and this wasn’t your ordinary ‘ass over tea kettle’
Lucy, my dog, made a particularly sloppy mess around her water bowel this morning. As I came around the counter my foot hit that slobber left on the tile floor. It is amazing all the thoughts that go through your head before you are down….. beginning with “Oh Shit” Grab the Counter” “Get Rid of the Glass” “Oh Shit there is another wet spot” other foot slips “ I am Going Down” ‘Grab the Chair’ “Oh Shit the chair is on Wheels” “GET RID of the GLASS you'll Lacerate Yourself” as I grabbed for the chair it tipped over. I am now in a full spin with my glass of orange juice getting launched across the kitchen. This was not any ole launch it was a launch where the orange juice and glass is whipped all across the room. Nothing went untouched…table, computer, walls, window, floor and the cat!
Boom! I am now down on the floor laughing my ass off.
