Busy, busy, busy...
Aug. 20th, 2005 04:05 pmTook the horse to a parade this morning. It was overcast, but there was no rain in the forecast till tonight.
It started to rain about two minutes before step-off.
It rained for an hour.
The parade ran 4 km and lasted just over an hour.
:P
At least the horse didn't step on my foot today.
Nope, this time, Ms. Klutz managed to get hurt all on her own. We were running a little late when we arrived at the parade assembly point, so we rushed to unload the wagon from the trailer. I stepped over the trailer tongue, caught my toe on it, and went ker-splat on the asphalt.
I haven't had road rash since I was a kid learning to ride a bike, but I have it now, from mid-forearm to the bottom of my T-shirt sleeve - the elbow is the worst. Took a good fifteen minutes to get it to stop bleeding. I'm just glad I was wearing jeans, not shorts, or I'd be raw from shin to mid-thigh as well.
Ah well, at least I didn't mess up my hands or hit my head on the bumper on the way down.
Anyway, I will be posting something tomorrow. Since I'm feeling ever-so-slightly cursed today, I'm going to let you all decide what that "something" will be:
Guess that answered that question... *sweatdrops* LWH #102 coming right up...
