i haven't read anyone else's blog in a really long time so i'm going to use the next hour or so to catch up which means tonight will be short. it's ok because i only have one story. DC is full of these silly, giant metal grates all over the sidewalks which (i think) run over the metro. well this morning it was drizzly so everything was wet, and i was wearing my new shoes which have absolutely no traction.
so i'm checking my email on my phone and holding an umbrella and all of the sudden i step on a metal grate and my legs go in two completely different directions, bambi style, and the next thing i know i'm flat on the ground. i fell like you fall on the ice. knees hard on the ground, palms out, where you want to cry because it legitimately hurts but you can kiiind of bite your lip to stop it. AAND i look down and there's a trickle of blood running down my leg and both of my knees are all scraped up.
i ran to starbucks across the street, grabbed a handfull of napkins and tried not to draw much more attention to myself as i dabbed at my knee. thankfully, another girl i met is super prepared and she had purel and a bandaid.
so that was my morning. the day only got better from there. seriously. :)

ReplyDeleteYou were walking to work at the White House while you checked your email on your iPhone? How DC are you!?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but your story was hilarious. Not that you fell, but in the way you wrote it. I could see it, of course, and I can see you biting your lip saying, "ow, pain, no cry, ow...." Be careful!
