the fall

i was just getting off the bus. it's what i do every day. except that this time, i fell all the way down 3 steep steps to the door of the bus. i managed to sprain both ankles and hit my back on the steps. it was quite spectacular but it happened so fast that no one really had time to react and as the doors were about to close and i needed to get off, i just got off. amazingly, there was no bruising to speak of, although the pain was there for days.

the door

leaving improv the other night, K. asked if i needed a ride back to my car. i thought, why not? it took a while to find his car, though, as he couldn't quite remember which street he'd parked it on. but that was ok. it's not like i was in any real hurry - i was getting home 'early' anyway. 

 

when we got to the car, though, he not only opened the passenger door for me, but also made sure i was properly seated before closing it behind me. wow. i was impressed. i don't think that's ever happened to me before. for all of 5 seconds, i felt like a princess. pretty cool. 

early snow

temperatures dropped and when we woke up this morning, there was snow on the Jura. and not just a small dusting at the top. some dusting all the way to the treeline. it seems just a tad early for that!
