Accidental
Well, my new year’s resolutions, like so many people’s, didn’t last long.
This morning, I tripped over June, who was milling around under my sleepy feet as I came downstairs. This is June’s way of reminding me that she’s ready for breakfast, even if it’s an hour or more before the appointed hour of 9:00, when breakfast is served.
Fortunately, I was only two steps from the bottom of the stairs, so damage to Self was minimal. I’ll probably have a bruised elbow, but that’s it. In the interests of honesty, though, this probably means I’m back to square one on trying not to damage Self. I went half a month injury-free, though, so yay me!
As I fed the cats, which entails stepping carefully onto a little wooden chest, then onto the studio floor, then up a step into the laundry room/pantry/cat dining room, it occurred to me that this is the first time I’ve lived in a house with stairs since I left my parents’ house. Maybe practice makes perfect and I need more stair experience and less experiments in gravity.

Perhaps you should amend the resolution to “not breaking” something. Then again, perhaps you should let sleeping dogs—er, cats—lie.
Glad you did not hurt yourself bad, you will have to learn to look down coming down the stairs, cats are much lower and faster than you are, hope you hold on to the ramp also.
I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve got hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is something that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very glad that I stumbled across this in my seek for one thing referring to this.
