I've been having a bit more trouble than usual with my legs and arms these days but still hard at work.
I was in a holy sanctuary today, tuning an instrument for God when the devil showed up (really, it was more like my stupidity but I'd like to blame it on the devil...). The piano was on the musician / speaker's platform and very close to the edge. As I move down the keyboard to tune, I move the bench with me. I dared to get the bench as close to the edge of the platform as possible so as to give me as much access to the top end of the piano as possible. While doing this, I reminded myself to be careful; the bench was getting precariously close to the platform's edge.
I thought I had room to move the leg just one more inch. Well, I didn't. As I was sitting on the piano bench, I over scooted the bench by a microcosm. The right rear leg departed from the platform, putting the bench at a "let's spill Kim over the edge" angle and I came tumbling off of the stage. I only rolled down (ha! I guess I was a holy roller for a bit!) 3 steps, as that was all there was to roll down. In the process, I banged my head, twisted and contorted muscles that could have been spared such and scraped my elbow a bit. The bench, fortunately, did not spill over on my already bruised head.
I'm not happy right now. It will be a bit before I can say, "Chesse!" again.
Just another documented moment in my currently tortured state.
