It’s been a weird day, if you couldn’t tell from that title.
Sadly I can’t really say much about the latter half there (for reasons) but I was ambling aimlessly on the marble steps of my office and slipped and fell incredibly slowly down the stairs. It seriously took me about 2 minutes to reach the bottom and there are only 20 steps.
I have a history of incurring what should be incredible injuries and walking away mostly unharmed (see That Time I was Run Over by a Car and Still Finished My 12-Mile Run) and this really isn’t an exception. Despite what Buster Keaton would have you believe falling down stairs is some scary shit. Anyone who’s ever gone for that last step that wasn’t there and felt the swooping panic in their stomach as their foot fell through the air where the step wasn’t knows what I’m talking about.
I came out of my gravitational adventure with a bruised bicep and a skinned knee. Not too shabby at all, and it didn’t stop me.
