Painful lesson

I was pretty tired after all the traveling and running around I did this weekend, so when I got up this morning and was groggier than usual (I hate mornings with a vengeance), I forgot to put my ankle braces on.

The fact that our books were in no particular order has been bothering me Continue reading
