    Default and then I fell on the stairs

    It's been that kind of weekend. My computer died, hard drive is trash. I lost my glasses, had to buy a new pair yesterday. Then today I slipped on the stairs, landed on my breastbone on the corner of the cast iron railing where the stairs switch back, that's going to leave a mark.

    Then while cleaning up dinner I dumped an improperly closed up bag of shredded cheese into the middle of the kitchen floor.

    Sigh.

    Wrenched my bad shoulder when I fell. I can tell I'm going to need a hydrocodone tonight.

    Contrary Housewife, go ahead and take the hydrocodone and let it kick in. I am sorry that you are having a bad day.

    Thanks, MH.

    I'm consoling myself this evening with a little shopping therapy. I've wanted a new microwave cart for years, even DH agrees the one we have is a piece of crap. So I bought this: Espresso Mid-Size Kitchen Island with Stainless Steel Top - Kitchen Islands and Carts at eKitchen Islands With "cash", of course.

    OOh sympathies. Hopefully nothing is broken just sore. A new something sounds like a must.

    Love your therapy - and you certainly deserve it!! Take care and go gently as you navigate this strange world.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    Doing ok this afternoon. Have a huge lump on my chest where I hit the corner of the railing, and it's very tender but no big purple bruise. Shoulder/arm is a little stiff, and I have mild pain in both areas with certain movements.
