but I’ve never done this.
They say there’s a first time for everything and I thought I’d done everything at least once. But it turns out, I hadn’t. Well not until this morning. It happened! I hope it never happens again.
There was nothing out of the ordinary about this morning. I woke at dawn as usual but instead of going onto Medium, I went downstairs and hung the washing out, then went back to bed. I read a couple of really good travel stories on Globetrotters and fell back asleep.This happens most mornings. I always sleep on the very edge of the bed. It’s a habit from childhood whether I’m sharing the bed or not. At the moment I’m sharing it with a whole collection of inanimate objects. Nothing unusual about that either.
I must have fallen into a deep sleep because I was dreaming until I was shocked awake. I had fallen out of bed!
I am ok – I think.
I lay on the floor assessing the damage – mostly concerned about my new knees. The rest of my body is pretty tough.
My bed is high off the floor (most of my camping gear is stored underneath) so it wasn’t just a matter of rolling out of bed.
I lay there thinking someone would come to investigate the loud thump I made when I hit the floor. No one came! I couldn’t reach my phone to…
