Every morning should be an adventure in extreme sports
I learned my lesson today. Always wake up when the alarm goes off. This morning, I ignored my 7 AM wakeup call because it was freezing (memo to self: don't forget to bring the bear back to apt this weekened) and next thing I knew, it was after 10. Oops. With the morning pretty much shot, I finally got out of bed.
Maybe it had something to do with my aching joints from yesterday or maybe it was my punishment for sleeping in, but while trying to stand up and not realizing that my left leg had lost all sensation.... Yep. Fwoop! The Poohster crumpled to the floor as soon as she tried to put weight on that leg. First thought was "shit." Second thought, "hey that was pretty damn cool." LOL. Weirdest part was the considerable lack of sound as I hit the floor. Nothing. I guess the rug by the bed helped. Then, thinking the blood was flowing in my leg again, I tried to stand up. Dude. With one hand on the bed, I got halfway up. Before collapsing again.
You know... hardwood floors suck.
This time, my leg buckled towards the bed. This would have been a good thing, because I could land on my face and just roll back into bed. Ahh... if only the Pooh were so lucky. Apparently, the wheels of the bedframe weren't locked like I thought they were. Leg folded under me. Supporting hand on bed gave way. Hip hit the edge of the bed. Bed with finicky wheels on hardwood floor shifted, making loud screeching noise. Pooh bounced off bed. Landed on fat ass.... on very cold, very hard floor... about two feet from where she started. Thump!
After the shock wore off, I sat there giggling like an idiot. I couldn't stop laughing. Oy. What the heck is wrong with me anyway?
Hmm. I wonder what the downstairs neighbors thought about the ruckus. Roomie had already left, so I didn't get any worried calls asking what happened. Not that he would care. Hrmph. Anyway, not wanting to chance the leg a third time, I crawled across the floor, back to the bed and didn't get up until a little while ago.
Is it the weekend yet? Siiiiiiiigh.
