I'm in the barrel again. Where I work, that's what we call it when you've done something really stupid and everyone gets to laugh at you. I've been laughed at plenty for the past.....day. Have you ever had one of those lives?

I was cleaning house Sunday....when a stunning disaster overtook me. I'm sure it was someone else's fault, but I haven't found that someone else, only heard their laughter from a hundred different directions. It started when I decided the bathroom floor needed mopped. I have since decided that I'm going to have carpeted floors throughout my house.

I got the mop out of the corner by the freezer. It never occurred to me....that I might have grabbed it at just the wrong place....and turned around....just in time to hit it against the ceiling fan which was running at high speed in the center of the room. I heard the "chunk" sound when it hit the fan....and they think I must have looked up at just that moment, cause when the mop handle came down on my head, it crashed into the frontal curve of my skull and then flat out across my head. I don't remember looking up....I remember falling...forward...and then backward...and hitting the freezer with the back of my head...and then desperately trying to keep from sliding sideways into the darkness.

Stop laughing.

Ok...it might have been funny....but....it hurt too much....at least...at that moment in time.

The doctor says I have a concussion and I should avoid getting another concussion for at least a month....so I should not sweep any floors in that time period. My best friend says I have now officially done something stupider than she has done....and I can no longer make fun of her. The managers at work say I should write an incident report about it. When I said I wouldn't do that cause they'd laugh at me....they said they were going to laugh at me either way.

They've harassed me about riding my mopstick too fast and too high.....they've harassed me about abusing a poor innocent mop so badly that it had to beat me in self-defense. They've even harassed me about the fact that most witches ride brooms. Personally...I think they're just jealous....it takes real skill to beat yourself senseless with a mop.....

Wonder if I can get the vacuum cleaner that high?

Greetings, Ari.

Bad, bad hurtful experience.

Hope you're doing fine now.

What about the mop?
I guess you already chopped it off.

..Ari, so sorry that happened to you. I really am not laughing, but I am still as curious as heck how you could manage to beat yourself senseless with a mop........

Be careful, be very careful with your Dyson Animal. I refuse to think of what could happen, as I have one also. Their suction could pull a truck ..an .. 18 wheeler.

Love and Hugs ..Flo

This sounds like something I would do.
Concussions are not funny, I know I have had them. Did you get the headache, sensitivity to light and nausea? Accidents in the home are often silly in nature, but serious in their reality. I hope you can laugh at this later, when you have gotten over the after-effects
I bet you won't do that again huh? lol Opps, I didn't mean to laugh

I prescribe lower altitudes until you are well clear of the porch roof.

I don't suppose anyone has yet suggested a bicycle helmet while cleaning or working on the house?

What's it like to have a bathroom large enough to use a mop?

I've always had little rooms that required only 2 or 3 paper towels and a spray bottle of cleaner. Something so long as a mop handle would surely be certain cause of injuries in such enclosed spaces.

Hi, well accidents do happen sometimes, it sounded funny but I hope it didn't hurt much, at least some can learn from your experience and will help save them from getting into same situation.

The mop somehow survived....I've arranged for its execution next week....I am fine now...it was just a couple of miserable days. Thanks.

If you laugh at me one more time for this...I'm so going to beat you. It wasn't funny....much....and the vac can't get that high...I tried.

I told you....brooms are ordinary rides...mops are super-powered...it just got too high....

Bite me, Flo

Oh yeah, I had all the symptoms...the nausea and the fuzzy mind were what sucked the most. I really struggled with work for a couple of days....

And now...back to our regular programming....Broomhilda gives up the mop.

Not just attacked, but brutally beaten by the cruel and heartless mop. I am better...and hope you are doing well also. How are you, Gower?

Ummmm yes....helmets have been recommended and offered....

I have two bathrooms large enough for a mop....want to come mop them for me? I'm forbidden to sweep or mop until a month has gone by...in case the next concussion causes additional dain bramage....

Now that I've advertised my stupidity...I hope no one else ever does anything this silly. Actually, I was realizing today just how serious the injury could have been had my head been in a different position....not fun....but funny anyway, I suppose.

Have a great day.

My pride only takes very temporary hits...my intelligence quotient did, however, decrease a point or two....stop checking to see who's is higher....

Have you ever considered how cruel you are to me on the phone? I hope you injured your....pride...when you fell off the chair. At least I didn't make coffee....your way....lol...

Love and hugs...and I'm so very glad.

Cruel? --> Me <-- You have some nerve, Missy. Who has that sarcastic/ cutie pie out going message on her phone Hummm... come on my abnormally tall sister, come clean. You know your accident had nothing to do with a mop & fan. But it had everything to do with your, New Trapeze. did you ever get those periwinkle tights you ordered?

Here we go with the coffee again.. your just jealous cause I fall better then you do. Love you

Dearest Cat.....as delicate as your feet may be...you may not balance on my trapeze....unless you were hoping to knock yourself out.

The trapeze is great...just looking for the right...playmate. Eventually, I suppose I'll meet someone who is excited by periwinkle tights. And clumsy high flying trapeze artists. I'd practice that a little more, but I suddenly realized that I value my head...occasionally.

As for being jealous...when you have a trapeze of your own...you can smack your own with no help from me. Meooooowwwwwww
