Tripped on the top stair and got up close and personal with a tile floor. Picked up some trivial scrapes and spilled my coffee. Avoided breaking the cup so that's a win.

You know what I didn't do? Boomer it up and "break my hip", "ambulance", "haaaalp I've fallen and I can't get up", or some unhealthy fatass outcome. I've seen waaaay too many people who started horking donuts and stopped going to the gym as they aged and seen how that turns out. They'd have been in the ER if they took that same fall.

Glad you werent hurt! I'm prepared for the days when I get old enough a fall could hurt me. I practiced as a kid and young adult, by tripping and falling over everything like a clumsy bastard. Now, as a mature adult, I dont trip and fall thaaaaat much, and when I do, I just use the momentum and lean into the skid for optimal results. Sometimes it looks really goofy but I just don't take fall damage.
