Today, I was stupid. Really stupid. When I woke up this morning the first thing I saw was a big black spider crawling on my ceiling. I watched it for several minutes as it crawled over to the side of the ceiling above one of my overstuffed chairs. I thought I could easily hit it now. I found a back scrubbing brush, wrapped toilet paper around it because I did not want to ruin the brush with spider guts and climbed onto the back of the overstuffed chair. Yea, you see the stupid part. Never, never stand on the back of a chair. I know, but I really thought the chair was overstuffed enough and low enough that it would never flip. Famous last thoughts.
So, just as I hit the spider the chair lifted off its two front legs and teetered on it back legs. It hit the wall behind it causing me to fall. I fell against our night stand which has an inch thick slab of marble on it. I bounced off that and hit the window sill on the way to the floor. I laid their for at least 10 minutes. Maylin was with me and kept asking if I was okay. I was silently crying. After 10 minutes and I still couldn't get up, I had her go wake Kenzie. She came and asked me lots of good questions and after a few more minutes helped me up.
When I stood up, I found my lamp shade had been bent, my granite top had been pushed off the nightstand and into the wall and I could not walk. I could tell nothing was broken, but that my nerves were pinched in my right leg. It took most of the day before I could use that leg. All day I have suffered from back aches, inside aches and a headache. Tonight I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror and the right side of my body from the bum up is covered with lovely bruises. They are deep bruises too. I guess this is why my insides hurt.
I really don't know what came over me. I know better. So here is a friendly reminder, don't stand on the back of a chair, please.
Oh yea, I missed the spider. I watched it crawl off as I laid on the floor in pain.
