friday ambiguous feelings non-list: because.
Normally I’d be doing a Love List here, since it IS Friday AND it’s the first Friday of the year.
It seems wrong to consider doing anything else!
But as I was walking home, I was rewarded for the first time I’d worn a skirt out of doors in months.
As I walked down the icy snow/crunchy snow/slick ice/frozen whatnot road about a block away from my home, my Uggs (it was not their fault, they’ve had gorgeous grip) hit a patch of what felt like banana peels sprayed with Pam, and BOOM… I hit the ground.
The crunchy, stabby, uneven ice-packed ground.
Bah.
My first fall of the season, period.
Skirt now ripped. Leg hacked to bits. Wrist worse for wear. Blood on Uggs (I’ll get it out, I weather-treated them well). And I’m pretty sure I’ll have bruises in places I’m not aware of yet.
Damn the no-road-clearing. Damn the melt-freeze-melt-freeze cycle. Damn the pretty day that convinced me I could take the risk and not look like bleeeargh in my old jeans.
I mean, oh well. Could be much worse.
But I don’t feel LOVEY, per se. I’ll try for it tomorrow.
Happy January 2nd!
