I Should Have Stopped Right There

A few weeks ago I was walking to work on a particularly icy morning when I thought, “Wow, I’ve walked to work every day for almost 2 years now and I never slipped.” Soon after that though came “I haven’t been sick in a while, I must be doing well.” It was then that I fell on the ice and smashed my knee into the pavement.

Now I sit here, my second sick day in a week. I had a cold on Monday and now spent the last forty-eight hours having a very nasty flu.
