Friday night Rick put Nikolai in bed and I made dinner. So, I go up to check on him (a few hours and two glasses of wine later) and I see that Rick has him in a turtleneck onesie- one that's a little too small. I think to myself, "I like big comfy clothes to sleep in, I bet he does too." So, I changed him into a bigger sized regular onesie. He halfway woke up.
So- here's the events as they unfolded:
1) I'm in socks because I hate shoes- I'm always in socks or barefeet.
2) We have a super creaky step (it's actually cracked)
3) I didn't want to wake up the Dude by stepping on the step
4) I step on the edge of the step
5) I slip off the edge ofthe step and slide- all the way down to the landing
6) I take with me: the speaker, the speaker wire (we were planning on running the wire up the stairs up never got around to it), and various other items that I had sitting on the stairs to go up.
My foot got caught in the speaker wire and I now have a gash that goes way deep (to the purple stuff under your skin), and a fabulous 4 inch by 3 inch bruise behind it, and a gorgeous 2inch by 2 inch bruise on the other side of my foot, a 6 inch by 2 inch bruise on my outer left thigh, and two identical bruises on my shoulder blades...
and now I think the nasty gash is getting infected. (Of course I'm paranoid after my bout with cellulitis a few years ago- the result of wearing sandals and getting a blister infected...)
One thing is for sure- NO SHORTS IN PUBLIC!

PS- the doctor assessed me and prescribed more wine, an ice bag and motrin
