Since I made my big move a few weeks ago into my new "single women studio"-- I had a small epiphany from a very benign accident. I was trying to install my new curtain rods, reaching as high as my tiny 5'2'' frame would allow me. I was feeling exceptionally proud and independent. Whereas normally, I would have a man (or MY man to be exact) help me install something like this.. I was doing it all on my own! When suddenly, as I was on my tiptoes, I lost my balance---slipped and fell! My lower back and left tricep slammed against the corners of my wooden chest placed at the side of the window. As I rolled in pain, I couldn't help but think about that old lady in the Life call commercials in the 80's. Is this the way its going to be? Single... alone.. on the floor with no one able to help me? As I lay on the floor, visions of SATC lifestyle washed out of my mind and fear set in. I don't want to be the Life call lady! I dont know exactly how this incident has helped me in the long run--But I at least know that I dont want to give up men forever! Having a man may have its own down falls and pains, but at least someone will be able to call 9-1-1 for you!
Needless to say, my cell phone has been within arms reach ever since!
