owie....

I always knew I'd fll in the parking lot at my train station.

I just didn't expect it to happen on a bright, sunny morning.

that parking lot is a nightmare in the middle of winter. after a storm it's a sheet of ice, more suited to the antics of Michelle Kwan or Scott Hamilton than to the average commuter. I am very, very careful when I walk through that lot in the dead of winter.

so what happened today?

I parked in the main lot, as usual. The tracks, platform and station house are across the street from the main lot. I stepped off the curb ot cross the street and felt my ankle twist. next thing I knew, I was face down on the asphalt.

got up, made sure nothig was broken or bleeding, and continued on to the platform.

but I have bruises all over my right side and my knees and wrists hurt -- they took the impact of the fall.

what a way to start a weekend.
