Taking the big one

Every winter, without fail, I manage to take a huge spill on an icy sidewalk or walkway. That happened today when I returned home from work and stopped at the central location where all the apartment complex's mailboxes are located. When I stepped onto the walkway, I saw that it was still quite slippery from last night's helping of freezing rain, so I stepped very gingerly. Returning to my car, I was equally as careful, but still managed to hit a slick spot and down I went on my you know what.

I'm happy to report that nothing is broken, I'm just a little sore. Hopefully this is the only fall I will take this season, but I wouldn't bet on it.
