The Martini Glass Is Fine, But...

...Or should I say "butt", my leg and bum are badly bruised.

Here's the scoop: On sunday, I spent the afternoon with friends for brunch at one of their houses. The rain had just stopped so we thought it would be nice to eat outside on the patio. Now mind you, I had just begun drinking my yummy blueberry martini so I certainly wasn't "under the influence" yet. Anyway, as I took my first step down the stairs to the patio, my foot slipped from underneath me and I fell right on my left leg/buttocks and then slid down to the bottom of the stairs. Ouch! However, I did it gracefully and although I spilled my drink all over my pants, I held tight to my glass and didn't let it break! I laughed it off and didn't feel too bad since another lady slipped and fell in the exact same spot as I did shortly thereafter.

I felt fine for the next couple of hours, yet when it came time to drive home -- Ouch...sitting down on the carseat was less than pleasant! By the time I got home, my left leg was noticeably swollen and extremely painful to the touch. Now, three days later, it's still rather sensitive, a lovely shade of purple and yellow, and still swollen! I'd post pictures, but I highly doubt anybody would like to see such a thing!

So, needless, to say it hurts to sit down so I haven't spent anytime in my craft room the past few days...
