Whoops, there she goes!

Yesterday, when I was getting out of the troop carrier, I caught my foot on the lip between the tailgait and the floor the carrier. I think I can honestly say that it was one of my more spectacular nose-dives.
Now, I'm the kind of person who trips on air on a fairly regular basis, so I didn't think anything of it. I just brushed myself off, laughed at the image I must have made, and went about business as usual.
After we got back from the range today, though, I mentioned that my knee was hurting, and in all honesty I couldn't think why, because it wasn't the normal arthritis pain. My sgt looked at me kind or worried and asked, "Because of the fall yesterday? It looked like it really hurt."
And I'm thinking, Oh, yeah, the fall!
Doh!
Now my knee, on closer inspection, has turned an intersting shade of brown and blue. Really, I don't know how I've managed to survive this long without a broken bone. My foot doesn't really count, as it was only cracked. :)
Anyway, I think I just lost every cool point I ever accumulated after that, lol! Not like I had many to begin with, though. As I said, I frequenly trip over anything and everything, including thin air.

Oh dear, you sound like me!

Even if I had the confidence to wear a skirt I wouldn't because of all the bruises and cuts on them!

We clumsy folk should stick (or is that trip?) together.

:)

Lol, I agree. Of course, it probably look something like a bunch of drunks walking down the street, with how often I trip on the slightest crack in the sidewalk. Or nothing at all. I have so many bruises I've lost count by now.

Lol. I don't know how it happens. You just..trip. Over nothing.

I think there's actually some invisible man that sticks his leg out whenever I walk near him.

Maybe it's Bilbo with the Ring...

Lol!
My boyfriend a few years ago didn't think I was telling the truth until we went for a walk and I stumbled and almost fell. He looked back to see what I had tripped over and couldn't see anything, not even a crack in the sidewalk.
I think you're right. I think Bilbo is playing tricks again!

That, or our feet are too big for us! :P

Yes, we have hobbit feet on regular bodies, lol!
Off to work, hopefully I'll make it there without walking into a pole or something. :)

Best of luck!
