It's not raining.... but I'm falling

I type here today and it's hard work. I've lost a fingernail and I'm really frustrated at it, but hell it could have been worse. Now I understand why rollerball pens are called rollerballs. It's because if you find one running around and happen to be unlucky to step on it, then you roll. Oh my dear, you really roll. And if it so happens that the rollerball pen is exactly placed (by the cats) on the highest step of the stairs and if it also so happens that you want to go down the stairs because people are waiting for you, then you'd better just leave the people waiting. I didn't. As it is, I should have, but I didn't. So apart from the people being treated to some shock therapy which they never banked on, I too, got the same thing. Only it was worse for me. And I just know that I floated in air, trying madly to grab a part of the stair banister, any part, but failing miserably, ending with a soft thud in the same position women are when giving labour. Of course I wasn't in labour, but almost in tears, tears for the embarrassment, tears for having torn of a fingernail, but no tears for pain. Amazing. My body took care of that, because I think it's made as it is to break all my falls which are numerous. Oh and thank God for my hair, it saved me from breaking my neck because it was all tied in a bun at the nape of my neck. Brilliant hairstyle. If you want to come out of a fall like that alive. And I did, after one whole storey of falling. It really felt like the falling Alice does in her wonderland, although I hate that fairytale. It really felt all so drug induced, because it felt like floating. Which is probably another good thing since I have discovered that bumping into air does not hurt one bit. Had I been wearing heels, they would have been seen as the culprit, but Nike Air? Not really something to be careful about. And I thought I was having a boring day. And life throws me a fantastic thing like that. But it's the law of the earth, and there is no way I am ever going to contest Newton. Now I just have to fix my fingernail...
