accidents in the home

accidents in the home
we all have mishaps in the home some bad
but for me
when emptying the ice tray one hit my foot so I quickly picked it up and tossed it into the bathroom
and carried on then the floor felt sticky blood everywhere a nasty cut indeed
another in the kitchen sorting the shopping I had a bottle of dilute to-taste orange squash
it left my hand and hit the tiled floor god what a job cleaning that up and the glass bits everywhere days later still found fine bits of glass
and you had any

Yes, I'm a klutz, and often reach for something too hastily and imprecisely and hit something or knock over something. I sometimes hit my head getting in my low-profile sedan.

I cannot remember the last time I broke a glass container and had to clean it up, but I have spilled liquids too many times to remember just one.

Thankfully, I can't remember the last time I spilled a bowl, pot, or pan of anything.

As for personal injury, I guess washing dishes I often injure my hands or cut myself with cat food can lids, knives, or similar.

And I cut corners too closely and hit my toe every few months, to nothing more serious than swearing and scaring Coco.

I have many times. The one that stands out is when I was getting Mayo from the fridge and it was in a glass jar and I lost my grip on it and it smashed all over the place. Fun part was cleaning it up while trying to keep my dog from eating it. It was not very good!

Yeah, I'd been thinking that messes by cats should probably have their own thread. There are so many ...

Either I or my cats have knocked over so many big tumblers full of Diet Coke that I now mostly drink straight from the bottle, putting the cap back on firmly after each set of sips.

Mine are outside of the house.

I am in agony this week because of a fall on the ice outside and still healing from a stress fracture from working out in the yards last summer.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

If anyone needs a Life Alert pendant I can get a good deal.

Maybe you should just get a broom and start cleaning up.

Accidents happen in the home. The worst one that I have had was breaking my leg and ankle. I was tired and it was close to midnight. I had shut off the lights and was going to bed in the dark. I got to the bedroom and was disorientated. I stumbled and landed on my left leg and broke the leg and ankle. Dumb me I waited to the next day to go to the hospital. I no longer walk around in the dark in the apartment. Mishaps in the kitchen have happened many times, but none causing injury. Just having to clean up the mess.

I had a FOOSH (falling on outstretched hand) trying not to step on a cat about a decade ago and went 4 weeks before a cast was put on....

And broke my left little finger in 2 places splitting wood.

Ouch.

I had a near death experience last night when I stepped on Zeus fetch ball on a trip to the bathroom. I slammed into the wall but didn’t fall. I told him if he kills in the night he’s not going to get breakfast

We called that a ROAG where I worked at.

Well lets see kicking the kitchen chair sent it into the brand new oven door, thank god it was under warranty! No charge to fix! That was a bullet dodged! Also tripping and falling down my stairs was how I broke my foot!

I drink a lot of diet soda. It's possible the artificial stuff in it may be bad for my health. But I have been drinking the stuff since at least the 70's. But one thing to brag about (to you diet soda haters) is that at least it is not sticky when spilled. I drink diet soda in my car nearly everyday. The only drink "spots" on the floorboard carpet are from the non-diet drinkers sitting on the passenger side!

The Grammar Police have been called.

Excessive use of acronyms. You may get by with only a warning.

It's only a matter of time until Maple cripples or kills me. She's one of those cats who likes to do circle eights around my feet when I'm walking, and she's so small that I often don't see her until my foot is about to come down on her head.
