Why is my butt all wet?

[wednes]

Before you go thinking that you don't want to know, let me tell you all about it. Those of you who know me well, know that without fail, I take one terrific fall/slip on the ice every winter. Last year I fell on my tailbone and missed a day of work.

This morning I walked out the front door and onto a solid sheet of invisible ice. My right leg shot straight out in front of me. My left leg bent at a crazy angle and my knee got totally twisted. I yelled for H to come help me, since I was right outside the front door. The cabbie got out to help me as well, and eventually I was able to stand up and walk to the cab. My knee is swelling up pretty good and hurts when I walk on it. But I CAN walk on it, so it's not broken or anything. I have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to my desk, and I made it, so that is cool.

So...you know, OW!

Suckage. But it's one more argument for why I live in the Deep South.

Don't you guys have giant spiders and poisonous snakes down there? ;-]

Well, yes, there is that. And we have alligators, too, but I think alligators are cool.

Score one for Michigan on the no-poisonous-critters count.

We have black widow spiders here but they are pretty rare. Wolf spiders are a little more prevalent, but not quite as dangerous.

Alligators are pretty cool.

I remember wolf spiders. Very scary. But we have way more black widows. And brown recluse spiders. And scorpions.
