Our new house has carpeted stairs and today, for the second time since Christmas, I fell down them. Last week I stumbled really hard going up them so all in all that’s three times I’ve nearly hurt myself terribly in less than a month.

There is nothing quite as terrifying as sliding out of control down stairs. You can’t stop yourself and every stair you hit makes a scary thump and the impact is just jarring pain. Once you stop you stay in place, thinking WTF and gingerly get up. I walked away again today but can’t help but think the stairs are out to get me. I’m a goob. I hurt.
