Was at a baby shower for a good friend's daughter Saturday. LOTS OF PEOPLE there. Like probably close to 50 which is HUGE for a baby shower nowadays. Everyone had gotten their food & were sitting down. I, having been at the end of the line, walked to the table I was at, set my plate down & went to sit in my chair... and just caught the edge of the seat enough to send it sailing out behind me where it crashed into the wall and I landed flat on my a$$ in the floor.

Y'all.... everyone in that room FROZE and STARED at me. I wanted to crawl underneath the table & hide!!!!!

But I gamely threw a thumbs up & hollered "It's all good - I'm okay, just clumsy" and climbed back upright and sat down. Red in the face & aching in the a$$....

Ya know, falling hurts a lot worse at age almost 60 than it did 20 years or so ago. By nighttime, I could barely moved. My hips, my left elbow, my hand, and MY BACK were hurting like the devil.... I've been eating Advil like candy ever since (which means I can't take my arthritis meds but oh well) and my back is still letting me know how unhappy it is.

****Sigh**** I've got another busy week again (making bourbon pecan bread pudding for a Christmas dinner for 50-60 people, canning venison stew & tomato stew, and taking John to Lexington for antoher appointment with his local oncologist) and I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP!!!!!!!
