… Robert Burns: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.” is a quote frequently featured on this blog over the nearly 10 years I’ve been blogging. The events in my life last week…and I don’t intend to be melodramatic, eclipse any previous examples I’ve shared to illustrate RBurns’ ode. I don’t know why I didn’t get around to last Wednesday’s post, just that I’d decided to gather Wed, Thurs and Fri bon mots into one post, slated to publish Friday.
All of that changed Thursday morning, approximately 9:15 am. Norman had a 10 am appointment; I was dropping him off and planned to proceed to join my Thursday Stitching group. I’d put my stitching basket in the back seat of the car, tuned to go back into the house and the next thing I knew, I was flat on my face. Yep! I fell! Fortunately, I didn’t beak any bones or teeth but I did have to go to the dentist because tissue from my upper lip got stuck in between my two front teeth.
I am on the mend; bruised but not broken, thankfully. I’m not sure what caused my fall; I do recall feeling a little roughness in the curb’s concrete; perhaps the sole of my shoe got stuck momentarily. It’s all a mystery. Whatever, gravity won – always. The bruising is beginning to fade.
Today is my niece/namesake’s 51st birthday. To celebrate, my niece decided to have a family PJ party Saturday with her mom (my sister), girls (my grand nieces), the little boys and Hazel (Chris’ pup). I opted not to stay overnight. Everybody had a grand time; I’m not too sure how much sleep anyone got. Happy Happy Mimi as her grandsons, Chris and Elias, call her.
Yesterday (Sunday) it rained buckets and more buckets. Today has been a perfect Fall day; it has been cold enough to spur the leaves to begin changing colors. Finally! I have a quiet week ahead and I’m looking forward to resuming my old +new = different rhythm/cadence‽ And the Wed and Fri blog post schedule.
Cheers~

Oh my goodness! I hope you are on the mend and not too sore from your fall. It sounds painful to have tissue stuck between teeth. I am glad you were able to attend the birthday celebration and I’d probably do as you did and come home to my own bed. Here is to a less eventful and more routine week for you. You might have earned a carmel latte from Zeke’s.

So hoping you are doing better!! So happy you did not break anything! I went out to get the paper months ago – in my bare feet – I started walking up the driveway – and just caught my foot somehow and down I went. First thing I did was make sure none of my neighbors saw me – ha! I was fortunate that I did not break or hurt anything. Just a bit of skinned up hands and knees. Take care of yourself lady!!
