I Feel Like a Kid Again
Sep. 26th, 2008 08:27 pmYesterday I was running for the bus and tripped and fell on the sidewalk. (I wasn't even roller skating. I wasn't even reading while walking.)
At the time, my hands and elbows stung. The breath was almost knocked out of me and I was feeling a bit headache-y and faint for a few minutes. Also I felt like an idiot. And my clothes got messy, though they somehow protected me and didn't get shredded themselves.
Today's evidence of my fall are a sore on my left elbow and an extra lumpiness I'm not used to on my right knee. With just a couple of band-aids to protect my left elbow, I was able to go dancing, even with someone who danced my elbow through curtains.
So, I'm still at an age where I can fall without crumpling my bones. I can just get up on go on with my life. Woo hoo!

Tomorrow we're off to Oklahoma for a week. Fortunately I found a web site that gave me a lot of ideas for things to do and so I feel pretty confident that it will be just like a real vacation. Certainly the weather will be nice. It's getting to where it barely hits 90 degrees here during the day, and we're going a few hundred miles north.
I don't have to warn you that updates will be sporadic at best because they already are!
Journal entry of the day - The Simple Dollar's Looking at Your Career as an Investment, which runs with Lewis Braham's idea in How Your Career Affects Your Portfolio from Business Week. They compare a career with investments to give them more ideas on how to control their finances. It's fun to look at things from a different perspective.
