portentous monday

My day has not started off well. I was late for work because of nasty traffic. A cherrypicker construction truck was too tall for the Skillman/Northwest Highway underpass, and broke the bridge. Chunks of concrete everywhere and about six fire trucks blocking all but one lane of traffic.

As I was walking from the parking lot to my building, I tripped over a broken sidewalk and took a skidding face plant onto the pavement. I simply couldn’t catch myself, and my purse, gym bag, and coffee mug went flying as I landed face down on my chest. I skinned my knee, elbow, and knuckles pretty bad, and am just now finding other minor scrapes and road rash on my arms and legs. The worst part was, it happened right in front of somebody. She was very nice and helped me pick up my stuff, but I was mortified that someone caught me in such a completely graceless mistake.

The first aid kit seems to be missing from the office. So no bandaids.

Then, about 20 minutes ago, I spilled what was left of my coffee down my front and onto my lap.

Doomy doomy doomy doom….
