because I knew you needed to laugh today

For a while now (talking, years) I have been waking up in the middle of the night craving orange juice.  So I usually oblige and stumble into the dark kitchen, await the evil refrigerator light to blind me, and chug enough juice until my teeth are too cold.  Lately, I've discovered Simply Lemonade and this has taken the Simply Orange's place of 2am cravings.  And last night was no exception.  Until I woke up a 2nd time and needed another chug.


So there I go stumbling into the kitchen, blinded by the light, cold teeth, close the door and head back to bed.  Only, as I go to lay down, I completely overshoot the bed parameters and fall right off the corner effectively causing myself to do a somersault, head-first to the floor in between the bed and some unpacked boxes.  I imagine this to be quite the thing to see, but it was complete darkness and I'm happy not knowing exactly how it looked.


My reaction time was well off as I had no idea what was happening until I heard the loud thump and I was down for the count.  I'm hoping this was how I did not further injure myself as I didn't tense up expecting the hit.


But alas, I did injure myself.  There's a scratch on my shoulder which took most of the impact.  And then there's my left foot.  Which feels like I sprained it.  During my replay of the event, my foot either hit the arm of the chair really hard or it went over my head and hit an open drawer of the dresser.  I like the latter because it would make the image complete.  And a lot more funny.


And there you have the story of a 28-yr old falling out of his bed at 2am.
