I always stop and think, this is how I'll die - choking on a chicken bone tripping over dog toys falling down the stairs.  And I'll need to pee.

learned the other night
not to close my eyes on the way into the bedroom
the door moved and i nailed it.
luckily not very hard.

our stairs are not all the same height
being careful is always a good idea.
i lost the last 2 when i closed my eyes could of winters ago
sometimes I think the whole damn house is moving.
