If you see me coming, run the other way

listersgirlI am a massive lump of bruises and cuts. All of my klutz genes have risen to the forefront this past week, and I am walking into things, dropping things, hitting things.
I have bruises all around each knee and up the thigh from careening into various tables and desks. I broke a mug at home when it just slipped right out of my hand, and I flung my yogurt across the lunchroom as I was taking it out of the fridge. I've broken so many CD cases at work I feel like we should be taking out special insurance. I have a large bump on the top of my head from where I hit it on the fridge as I was putting away the groceries, and bruises on my arms from walking into the doorway instead of through, like normal people.
And then yesterday was the highlight, the main event, the headliner of my week of complete clumsiness: I managed to trip as I was stepping over a chain that was barely off the ground, flinging myself forward and flat on the pavement, bag flying over my head. I now have bruises all up my left side, a huge scrape on my right foot, another on my left knee, a very painful one on my left elbow, and the heel of my left hand is all mangled and scary-looking. I actually had to change my pants this morning because the first pair sat right on the lovely purple bruise on my hip, and it was wicked painful.
The worst part is, that wasn't even the grand finale. This morning I was talking to someone at the front desk, and as I turned to walk away, I slammed right into the bookcase, which not only hurt, but knocked me off balance, so then I fell against the table and now I have an attractive matching bruise on the opposite hip.
Well, at least I'm co-ordinated.

Come hang out with me and
