Yes, I fell (for those of you who don't have a Puritan upbringing, the end of that sentence is "...before a fall.") on my rear.
I was doing laundry this morning and well, it's winter so I was wearing socks but not slippers and I slid down the wooden (read: slippery) (slippy if you're a Pittsburgher) stairs. OUCH, double triple OUCH. So far, nothing broken, but my tailbone hurts and is a little swollen. No, I can't tell if it's black and blue, and frankly, contorting in front of a mirror doesn't really appeal.
But if I'm to groom before church, I best be done blogging. Oh, I need tylenol, and lots of it!!

Latin lesson for the day:
Proverbs 16:18 "Contritionem praecedit superbia et ante ruinam exaltatur spiritus." (Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.)
Why were you so haughty about your footwear is what I wanna know.

Me too, me too! The good news is I was able to make it through church.
We sang "Hallelujah, Grace like rain falls on me" and had wine and bread.
Now I must go to my couch.
apoxqswc: a pox? queried sarah wistfully, carelessly...
The advantage of kneelers is that you can take the weight off your, uh, injury AND be even more pious than usual.
I'm just sayin'. :)

great hint, except then the knees...oh wait, this pillow helps. hey, it's blogging by the minute here at sarah l's blog!
My boys have been skating and falling all over our hardwood floors, with the advent of sock weather. And I nearly went down the stairs the other day. note to self: do NOT clean the stairs, it makes them much more slippery!
Joke, is it ok not to kneel? I wasn't raised in a kneeling church and I feel funny kneeling. I just sit and bow my head. Is this ok?
BabBab,
Yeah, just kinda scootch to the forward edge of the pew and bow your head.
If it's any consolation, I often forget to NOT genuflect and cross myself when I cross the nave of a Protestant Church. I'm sure that has raised a few eyebrows over the years.

P.S. I think LL Bean carries socks w. teeny rubber nubby thingies on the sole.
Yeah, I own some. Silly me to not be wearing them--I'm so spoiled, the rest of my apartment & bldg is carpeted (even my bathroom--ick) except for a cut out for my "kitchen." When I get the digital camera and the apt clean (or when I find old pics I took) I'll give you a tour of my humble abode. So, since I'm so used to carpeting, I forgot about the wooden steps. Oh well.

teeny rubber nubby thingies...this is my new favorite phrase.
Hey, just be happy that your guardian angel wasn't asleep at the switch! That coulda been your neck you know.

Oh I am very grateful! Just came back from getting x-rays. It was very nice, as x-rays go: no one asked me "are you sure you're not pregnant?" and I didn't have to completely disrobe! I didn't even have to take my shoes off!! So now we wait to see what kind of fall I had...
evwuj: every volks wagen uses ju-ju bees.
