sumi, I fell into a snowbank on my walk to the pool last night, you have my sympathies.
The city never plows my street. I think I am actually ok with this now. We did a better job than they ever would.
I'm waiting on a UPS delivery of stair treads to avoid the neck breaking ice that sometimes forms on my steps.
I guess I am one with you all.
Oh, I hope they work out!
I got my new boots from LL Bean - I had hoped that their weight would keep me upright on ice but they are great otherwise. (LL Bean waterproof hikers.)

Shit, so sorry Jessica.
I found the one patch of ice on my way to my bus stop and fell hard.
I fell on a patch of ice on our parking pad on Monday and my hip is still sore from it. Stupid ice. I didn't spill my coffee though!
Now, that takes skill!
Luckily, I wasn't carrying coffee.
The last time I wiped out on ice I dented a car door with my face and still didn't spill my coffee.
So sorry, Jessica. Much love to you.
The last time I wiped out on ice I dented a car door with my face and still didn't spill my coffee.
Wow.

I remember the Christmas day when I was carrying the open box with the clean Crock Pot in it from my aunt's house down her stairs, and I managed to step on a patch of ice at the bottom of the steps. My feet went straight out from under me and I landed right on my butt with a thud, but the crock pot didn't even rattle its lid!
