Please let me leave for vacation on Saturday without killing myself in the meantime. On my way out of my building a few minutes ago on a trip to my bank, I tripped and fell down 4-5 limestone steps. I hit my left knee and my left elbow. Both are torn up a bit. Owie. Oh, and my skirt totally flew up as I landed on the pavement in front of an offloading city bus. One of the men standing there says--as he kindly helped me up--"you sure fell pretty." I don't know if he meant I fell hard or if I fell with my panties showing. Dear Lord....
