Now, on to the freakishly uncoordinatedness of me aka the perils of weight loss.

So, I haven't been spending much re: new clothes because things are tight financially around here.  Well, I may have to consider it.

I was walking up the stairs last night and my PJ bottoms started to slide down and I didn't notice and I managed to catch the big toe on my left foot in the bottom of my right PJ leg and tripped myself and fell.

Of course, I fell bad leg first against the stairs.  Yep, that's right.  Landed on the leg I fell on last week outside on the ice of the rec center.

Check out my knee NOW...
