I "squippered" off some steps the other day...
For those unfamiliar with doing a 'squipper,' I present you with two previous posts. Read them
and return for the rest. :-)
Doing a Squipper
Squippering at the Gym
Here's the latest entry for my ever-growing collection in The Clumsy Chronicles.
(and here you probably thought I was cured or something. Nah-uh.)
It was early morning, a beautiful day had dawned and the birds were chirping. I walked out the door leading to the patio, coffee cup filled to the top. There were 4 steps to descend before making a sharp right to the patio where I planned to sit and ponder life. Somehow my legs didn't succeed in navigating the 4 steps and morphed the 4 into 1. As the legs moved to descend the steps, the brain registered some sort of danger. Unfortuntely it was too late. All 4 steps were bypassed as if I decided to leap over them. Suddenly I was on my knees, literally sliding on my kneecaps from the base of the steps toward the driveway. All I needed was an electric guitar and some big hair and a stage; I was transformed into a rock 'n roll guitarist, sliding across an invisible stage on my knees, guitar in my hands.
Thankfully it was early and quiet and no one around to see this latest acrobatic trick. I actually said out loud, "I can't believe I just did that," as if the birds in the trees were going to agree with me. Sheesh.
p.s. I neglected to mention that only a bit of coffee spilled out of the cup. Goes to show you what's important, eh? :-)

Given that it's May, would this be you getting over you annual stairs incident early? :)
Glad to hear you (and your coffee) made it relatively unscathed.
