No good deed...

As I said on Twitter this morning, I am consistently amazed by my ability to fall UP the stairs. Yeah, you read that right. Up. Not down.

When quasisonic called to tell me more about her good news, she asked if I could please take care of Puck's garden while he was away. No problem. So, as I headed up to the roof to water his plants, I tripped over one of the stairs, and landed on my knees. Now, since I was walking in my usual rapid fashion, I slipped hard, and fell hard. My ankles bashed against the hard, marble stair with considerable force, as well. I think that my right ankle and left elbow and forearm had the worst of the impact, but I have some twisted muscles in my back, some scraped hands and some very sore knees to show for it as well. *sigh* I feel like I've been in a fight - not sure who won.

Speaking of fighting, J lent me the first season of Burn Notice. I'm about four episodes in and absolutely in love. Any Burn Notice fans out there? And I'm sure J will violently disagree with it, but in Burn Notice I see all the elements that I adored and miss from the Dresden Files TV show (a hot, snarky protagonist, quirky storylines, fun side characters). I'm currently blowing through Season 1 and hope to be caught up soon - thanks to a combined effort of iTunes and HULU.com. :)

Also, will someone please inform the weather, that it's currently the end of August, and not the end of September? I'm all for weather like this, but NOT when there's still TWO weekends left at the beach club. Just two. And the last thing that I want is two weeks of 90+ degree weather in late September, after the club closes, when such warm weather is basically useless to me, and therefore annoying.

Where did this summer go? It feels like this entire year is flying by!
