I keep forgetting I'm an old man. This morning I was shifting into my lightweight workout shorts for the morning exercise ritual, and I fucked up.

I always stand naked in the Cave on my right foot while I slide my left leg into my shorts. Then I shift over to my left foot and put my right leg in. The truth is, I shouldn't be standing on one leg period, I should be sitting down.

I missed the right side of my shorts and stuck my right foot into the left side of my shorts, which was occupied by my leg at the time. Suddenly I lost my balance and with my right foot stuck, I had nowhere to go, but down.

So there I was toppling towards the concrete floor sideways. I reached out and grabbed the handle of the big exercise bike, which broke the fall slightly, and hit the floor hard on my right hip.

At my age, I should have broken my hip, but I'm in great shape and I didn't. I scraped the skin off a couple of spots on my left arm from hitting the bike, but otherwise I was fine.

Then I threw a couple bandages on the cuts, did my workout and walked my morning walk. I honestly don't know how I survive this shit, and it would have really sucked if I fucked my body up before my new bike arrives on Saturday.

From here on I change into my shorts, sitting down.
