A bum deal

I normally don't blog about my butt, but I feel the need to today.

It starts about a week ago. I'm standing sideways in my closet, packing up some stuff on a low shelf and I crouch down to pick something up and somehow managed to sit down (very hard mind you) on the edge of my snow shovel spade. Punctured the skin and gave myself a nice little bruise.

Then last night I'm out bowling with some friends and somehow during the third game managed to pull my left glute. To the extent that I was pretty much limping for the rest of the night.

And the third strike... this morning I was going down to the basement to change my laundry over and I slipped on the steps again landing right on my bum. It was a pretty nasty hit and I now have an awesome black bruise that aligns perfectly with the edge of the step. Nice.

I'm hoping the 3rd times a charm and I won't be having any more incidents. All the muscle soreness is super nice as I go into the labor intensive moving process.

Mexico is going to be awesome after all this. Though I might be wearing jeans and long sleeved shirts to cover up all my bruises!
