i don't mind snow days. in fact, i greatly enjoy them. i don't work in an industry that requires me to risk life and limb to make it in to the office. i have work to do and it must be done whether there is snow and ice or not.
so, last night our small group had a recreational outing. 7 of us went to a simple dinner with a drill sargent for a server (she was very entertaining and a little scary). then we went bowling.
i survived two games of bowling without mishap. but, as we're at the alley, the newsticker at the bottom of the house tv's began to run "breaking news" about ice forming on all the roads.
well, we made it home without mishap. but, as i stepped out of the truck, i hit ice and fell.
but, i didn't just fall. it was one of those falls when you think you can't fall any farther, but then you do. and then you do again.
i landed really hard on my right knee and it hurt terribly. but then in the midst of it, i "decided" to drop my bowling ball on my other knee. that hurt even worse!
so as humpty-dumpty did, i had a great fall.
i only write about it because as i've shared this story with a few people, i've found out that i'm not the only one. praise God, it's no worse than just a few bruised back-sides and bruised egos.
Great Physician, i pray to You today for healing. thank You it wasn't worse than it was and it hurts, but is feeling better today. i can tell You are at work in my body.
ps - thanks for bringing kara home safely.
