Proof my bones are still pretty strong. [View all]

I headed out to feed the kittens and for the FIRST time they were all sitting right in front of the door. I could open the door barely wide enough to squeeze through and lost my balance avoiding stepping on one of them. DOWN I went on the concrete steps, slamming my arm on the deck and my hip on the step. AND I dropped the food. 😫

After a few seconds of self assessment, I was back on my feet and scooping up the food. Well, briefly. The kittens headed in to eat the spilled kibble.

I've already got a nasty, vivid bruise forming on my arm and have yet to check my hip. I'll probably be pretty sore for a couple of days but at least nothing broke. Surprising, since according to my NP I am at that age where I am fragile and could crumble in to dust at any second.
