The good news is that Ray and I had a blast at our usual Saturday cards with the ladies. The bad news is that I had an accident when we got home. I think I have mentioned in the past that Jolie has trouble with the stairs. We live in an old house, which means the stairs are pretty steep with her short, stubby legs and long body, she tends turn into a toboggan when she tries to come down them. As a result, she is smart enough not to try. On a bright note, she has no problem getting up them.

Well, it was time for dinner so I went up stairs to get her so she could eat. I actually forgot that there was a case of soda on the stairs and stepped on them, allowing me to lose my balance and take a tumble. Fortunately, it was not a long fall. I am not sure how I did it, but we plowed into the floor and the door in the wall opposite the staircase. I somehow avoided crushing poor Jolie, though I did land on one of my knees and smashed my wrist pretty bad.

I put Jolie down immediately, and she seemed totally unstunned and unhurt. In fact, she just rushed to go get her food, not realizing what actually happened. She is not actually the brightest bulb anyway. She is full of love, and loves her Papa (me), but Belle has the brains in our furry family.

I did not come out of the fall so great. I am not seriously hurt. I landed on my knee hard enough that I somehow got a layer of skin pushed through the knee of my pants. I also have some cloth embedded in the knee. My wrist has a little bit of swelling on the side. I think it might be due to the fact that I got my watch caught and that cause a bit of damage. Nothing appears to be broken. In fact, I am sore, but I am actually typing with both hands.

So, the klutz in me shines through once again!
