Hubris inevitably followed by Nemesis [View all]
Well, I complained here a few hours ago about being treated like an old feeble person, so when I went to the grocery store I decided not to take my cane. All was well until I tripped on my goddam non-slip soles and fell straight down, banging my forehead good and hard. I have a magnificent goose-egg and ever-darkening bruise.
Of course, the worst happened: everybody in the damn store but the butcher it seemed clustered around me wanting to help me get up. I told them I was fine, which I was, and to let me sit a second and then hold on to the counter to get up. Which I did. But by then the store manager was there and wanted to make sure it wasn't the store's fault (or make sure I wasn't going to say it was the store's fault), which it wasn't. It was my own damn fault. If I'd had my cane I wouldn't have fallen.
Shit shit shit.
