Ouch ! But my leg is still attached. TG, cheers to the limber.
What we do to sell Real Estate.
So Saturday, I am pointing out the backyard on an estate sale. I say "look how nice the back yard is". I take a step on the second rung of wooden stairs ,and it was rotten, and gives way, my leg twisting , and I fall like a sack of potatoes in the back yard . Leg on fire, (and lucky leg was not broken) . I danced and responded that I was OK. Tough guys walk off pain.
Wrong. I show 4 more homes with a grimace and smile. What we do to sell Real Estate.
Roll clock forward 3 hours. My leg is like a balloon. My wife was showing all day for a great buyer-but with many houses to show. Hence - no one around to hear my whine.
I hobble around preparing a good dinner. Meat on the grill with a twist of fresh Banana peppers fried. I scraped the seeds with my hands.
A quick wash of the hands and back to the grill. The left hand reaches my face. I do the functionally rub, FIRE ! My face is on fire from the peppers ! Hot Pepper juice from the seeds have infected my face!
So with bum leg, Face on fire, my wife arrives with buoyant attitude through the front door to see me crippled and red-faced seeking help.
Moral of the story is to watch your step and don't dance with hot peppers. Holy crap what a nightmare. I finished the dinner off by burning my hand on the grill.
Humility...a sure sign of aging.
