Tumble, not tumblr

Yesterday in the rain I slipped and fell down the stairs.
The porch stairs, the concrete ones.
The good news: Nothing's broken, and I didn't hit my head. (well, technically I did hit my head, but it was more of a nudging-the-loose-mailbox-off-the-shelf than a knock on the noggin.)
I do feel very banged-up and bruised today, though. And the huge dent in my dignity is appalling.
I'm going to do something about those stairs. I hadn't slipped on them before, but in the rain they are really treacherous. I'll talk to Papa about a railing (Yes, I suspect that some of you are doing the victory dance) and I'll look into some gritty textured paint for the steps themselves.
Yesterday was plain awful, anyway. Though, it's true about my luck; the universe saw that I was having a crap day and offered me consolations in weird ways. I had to meet with The Crazy Client, she made me late to work, in my haste to get in to work I managed to lock my (only) key in the truck. Work kicked my behind completely because it was one of those Sundays when we could have used a few of us, but I'm there by myself. I also sold three machines, and did so more-or-less simultaneously. Dude.
But all of that meant that I couldn't get the other time-critical things done that I needed to do, and was already tired and crabby when it was time to go home... and I discovered that my key was sitting on my passenger seat. Managed a ride home from a coworker, managed to get a load of laundry started, managed to get out the door for the meeting something like on time... and fell.
Grr.
I also had to go and deal with the locked truck (Ok, not a piece of CAKE, but not as bad as I feared), then come home and work on random things.
I took some ibuprofen yesterday, but this morning when I got up I realized that I was not interested in doing anything other than the bare minimum today. I am going to go in to work to teach tonight, but that's all. Tuesday I'm working all day, teaching, and I absolutely must be in there for that, so I figured a day of rest was in order.
I still want to try to go see Much Ado about Joss Whedon, though.
