Even though I would rather not admit to it, I fall kind of often. And, it’s pretty much guaranteed that if I am walking/running on a trail I am going to fall (main reason why I run road races and not trial races). I have the tendency to fall in normal walking conditions as well, prime example=last night! Things were great, I got off work and went to get a pair of awesome pair of jeans hymned- Joe’s Jeans, which I am so excited about because I got them for pretty cheap online. As I was walking out of the store I tripped on a lopsided part of the sidewalk and fell off the curb! Isaac tried to catch me, but didn’t and I scraped my hands pretty badly and bruised up both knees. I have nice shiner on my right knee to show off. It hurt!! Isaac was a sweetie petey and ran to the grocery store nearby and got some ice and I hobbled over and washed up. I took some ibuprofen and arnica (love this stuff) and sat around for the rest of the night with ice on my legs and palms. My plans for going to workout flew out the window and I ended up going to get dinner at a sports bar with Isaac because he wanted to watch the Mason game.
The icing on the cake, however, and the really important part of all this is that when I got my camera out of my purse this morning (the purse that flew to the concrete along with me last night) the screen was completely white with little lines on it. I looked it up online and realized that the LCD screen is broken. So that’s the end of my very bad day- so not only did I fall but my camera is BROKEN. And, it’s no longer under warranty. So long story short, I don’t have pictures today and unless I can convince Isaac to let me use his camera I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy another one . Hopefully I will be able to convince someone to buy me one for my birthday which is quickly approaching- only 10 more days!!!
I hope to be back in action soon and I hope everyone is having a better day than I have been having!

I fall a whole lot, too : /
At my current job, I have already fallen 4 times, at various places around my campus.
My hubby fell down some stairs yesterday at his work, maybe there was just something in the air.
