Third time's...not funny any more

Did I really fall three times today? Yes, but it was only funny the first time. A light dusting of snow covering the icy sidewalks tricked me into thinking those sidewalks were safe to walk on. I discovered otherwise while walking to the el, walking home from the el, and while walking the dog.

It did kind of remind me of being a kid the first time though. I mean, how many times a day did you trip, fall, or get pushed over by your sister growing up? My knees are a beautiful patchwork of 15 and 20 year old scars. I'm so used to controlling my motions that it was funny and surprising to find myself on my ass in the middle of the sidewalk, my bag on top of me and my coffee mug in a snowbank.
