Annoyance

     Fine, I have badly bruised knees.  If I need to do any work near the floor, I have to sit on the floor.  Kneeling is obviously out, but it turns out that squatting pulls my slacks tight over my knees and it hurts like the dickens, even in the baggy, multi-pocket work pants I prefer.

     This is the weekend -- I can just slob around in a nightgown most of the day!  --Except my favorite summer sleepwear hits right at the knee.  That featherweight touch, touch, touch as I move is maddening and if it hits just wrong, surprisingly painful.

     The fall could have been worse.  I probably came close to breaking a wrist, I could have done far worse to my knees and I just missed smashing my face into a concrete curb.  But the aftermath is still unpleasant.
