I fell today and scarred my pride
I fell down today twice.
Twice down a flight of cement stairs - like a "soap opera godess". Landing on my butt - not breaking my neck or anything like they do in the movies, or on tv.
I hurt all over but, mostly I hurt my pride. I parked on the third floor of a parking ramp. They had no elevator because they were under construction.
I took the stairs thinking "I can do this", I walk down three stairs everyday - without a hand or a guardrail.
I was an idiot and I'll pay for it tomorrow. I can feel the bruises already.
And I know what's worse than the hurt, is the pain I feel because, the stairs became mountains - and I could not climb down them.
At work - everyone laughs. "She'll get shaky and fall down".
It's not funny.
I'm still hurting.
