My life as a slapstick comedy
After hours of travel yesterday, and even more hours of travel today, I disembarked the plane, gathered my luggage, walked through the sliding glass doors, victoriously breathed in the air… and promptly tripped. Fell on my face, deeply skinning both knees and tearing my new jeans.
Welcome to New York.
My left knee is especially bad – a huge goose egg of a welt threatening to burst through my pants, and a deep cut that almost caused me to bleed to death on the hour-long subway ride from the airport. Maybe I’m a sissy, but it hurts. It hurts to walk, it hurts to bend, it hurts to lower my body down into a chair. Luckily, my sweet friend Heidi provided me with Neosporin, a huge bandage, and an icepack, and I have been able to pick the cotton scraps and gravel from the wound. We’ll see if I’m recovered enough to take the City by foot tomorrow.
First stop: “The Lion King.” Naaaaaa – sa – bwen – yaaaaahhh!!!

“umm.. yeah. I went to work today… and then. umm. I came home.”
oh geez. I can’t believe I just made that “You’re” grammatical error.
I’m ashamed.
Awww, Anners! That sounds like something I would do, except I would feel sorry for myself afterwards.
Slapstick?
(insert laugh track)
Nothing funny about you falling though.
Oh Nooooo!!! So sorry and hate that it happened. Soooo something I would do.
