So today's shaping up to be a real barrel of laughs. On my way to work this morning I fell off my bike.
Twice.
The first time I was cutting through the parking lot outside of the nearby high school and I decided to hop the kerb instead of going through the driveway. this is normal for me. Now, bearing in mind that I had my iPod in one hand, this was probably an ill-advised course of action. I of course being in my usual hurry to get to work, didn't think of this, and went for the kerb.
So I took the kerb funny and my bike slid to the right, meaning I went down with my whole body to the left, scraping up the left side of my face, both palms of my hands, my left knee and my left foot. I also lost my right flip-flop (don't worry, I retrieved it) and to add insult to injury, my backpack flew up and hit me in the back of the head. Which hurt, because my laptop was in it.
So that was the first one. I'm glad I was wearing a helmet for it.
That first accident was entirely my fault, and I know it. However, the second one? Well, let's see:
I'm biking down 16th street heading towards the library to get to work, and as I'm passing Phi Mu sorority house I go off the path and onto the grass to go around a pedestrian. Evidently I didn't go into the grass far enough as my tire got stuck in that little spot between the pavement and the grass, and I went over. Again. Head-over-handlebars onto the pavement, this time to the right. So I scraped up my RIGHT cheek, right knee, right ankle, did even more damage to my already stinging hands, and got a really nasty scrape on my right shoulder.
Now as well as that, my head is still hurting, my left arm feels bad (abnormally weak bad, kinda like the muscle hurts), I have gigantic bruises on my right knee and a scrape on my left. My left foot hurts when I walk and my right ankle hurts when I put pressure on it. Lots of pain...
And all of this before nine AM.

I'm kinda thinking I should have stayed in bed...
