beware: shoes may be slippier than they appear.

so it seems my clock falling was just the beginning.

the next day i wore these cute little flats to work that are really slick on the bottom. i managed to maneuver up and down the stairs (the 3rd floor bathroom was out of order and i had to use the one on the 1st floor)quite successfully all morning. i must have been getting a little cocky because when i went for lunch at thurndercloud sub and tried to walk along that concrete slab at the end of parking spaces (incidentally, is there a name for that...?)i slipped in the most ungraceful way possible. it was like i teetered and slipped for a full minute before i crashed to the ground, still kind of on my feet and, of course, in front of a large window.

the next day i wore much safer shoes. i went to pei wei for lunch and as i was walking out of the porch area, i simply didn't see a step down after opening the porch rail gate. again, i didn't technically fall, but i did land in a really weird position with a look of utter confusion on my face. then i held my head up high and wandered the parking lot for a few minutes trying to remember where i parked.

yesterday i decided to brave hanging glass on my walls again. after breaking a picture frame when attempting to show claire and corbin where i was planning on hanging it a few nights before, i was a bit nervous. i'm happy to announce that this weekend i have neither slipped or broken anything. i believe a new leaf has been turned over.
