Today I' recovering from being stupid.
We're getting ready to move so I'm slowly starting to get rid of some things and clean and pack up some items, well I have a Nascar Ball cap collection that circles my room at the very top of the wall I had screwed in baseboard with long finish nails to hold the carps on approximately 75 hats. I was getting tired and took a chance and reach over with one foot on the step stand and the other on the desktop to remove the last screw. (it's always the last one) and when it came out down I went, thing is I fell on top of 20 boxes or so of old computer parts ect.

So here I am laying 1 foot her one their almost upside down can't move yelling help but my Mom downstairs is watching one of her favorite scifi movies blaring and can't hear me. I must have been like that for about an hour before she heard me and tried to get my crippled a** out of the piece I got myself into.So needless to say I pretty sore right now and have suspended moving for a couple of days.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Bummer....I'd say take it easy, but I understand how it can be frustrating to have to take it easy.....if that makes any sense. That said, hope you mend quickly.:)

And what part of stupid are you stuck on?
In your condition you shouldn't be doing any moving or lifting. Let the people who are moving you do that.

The part starting with S and ending in D

I'll be OK just wish I'd have moved that old dimensions tower, feels like I have an imprint of it on my backside.

Something about me and doing anything off my feet. Oh well a least now I can have someone else do everything and not feel bad about it.
Thanks everyone just thought it was a kinda funny story.
Stupid funny not Ha Ha funny.

Eric, I'm sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope you are not seriously hurt.

Hi .. Thanks for your comment.. it's still snowing here.. so I'm not going in to work today..
I called in just before 7 am..to report I'll be staying in, thought I would sit it out here at home..
I don't relish the idea of getting my body hurt.. or getting my car smashed..this will surely be gone in a day or so.. then we get bitterly cold.. so it better melt and run off quickly.
I hope it's nice where you are today...Enjoy !!!
