Beginning the morning with a bang and a whimper

Columbia Gas keeps estimating my meter reading instead of reading the meter. It’s in the basement and apparently the meter reader is a lazy bum. I say that affectionately.

In any case, I set up a special appointment for tomorrow with said meter reader bum. This morning, I went to the basement and decided, while down there, to doublecheck the basement door was unlocked so there could be no excuse for meter reader bum.

And then I fell through the stairs.

It sounds very dramatic, but it just means that I ended up on my buttocks on a lower stair. The one I stepped on was on the floor.

Boobytrapped!

In any case, it wasn’t that big of a deal, though I have to fix the stairs before tomorrow.

But my knee! It’s the size of a small linebacker. Ow. Ow.
