i fell

it's been many many years since i last fell. yes, since i last actually lost my balance and fell onto the ground. but that was exactly what happened to me last evening when i played with sapphie.

you see, i brought her down to the car park for her before-bed pee/ shit. and after that, i played catching with her. i used my hands to cup her eyes and when i pulled off my hand, i would run off in one direction. and she would let out a loud bark, do a kinda bouncing jump using all her 4 legs and chased me. and i would repeat it again and again... i would change the direction of my runs often and she would be surprised and start chasing me once she regained her sense of things after i removed my hands from her eyes. and during one of the runs, as i turned a corner, i lost my balance. and next thing i knew, i slipped and fell face down like a javelin. and because i was running as i slipped, my knee scrapped the cemented floor. sustained a badly bruised knee cap as a result...

but well, it was nothing more than a bruise. i did not hurt myself. but i woke up today not being able to walk properly. i had a very painful knee cap, very sore and tight shin muscles on top of the bruised knee.

heh heh...
