It being take the cats to the vet night, I was on my second round of capture them and try to stuff cat B into carrier without letting cat A escape. Trouble had taken refuge behind my monitor, so I got up on a stool and grabbed her. While trying to step off the stool while clutching the panicked cat, the stool tipped over. I landed on the keyboard, which was perched on a half open drawer, fragmenting the keyboard, ripping both drawers out of my drafting table, tearing a good shirt and skinning both shins.

I did manage to get the cats to and from the vet, and the pieces of the drawers glued and clamped, and the keyboard sort of reassembled (the space bar works about every other hit). I haven't really looked my legs yet.

I think I'll call it a night... :rolleyes:

The cats are fine, got their shots, back to their duties of eating and sleeping. If I had skinned myself up riding, at least I could brag about it, but this is embarrasing! :p
i know what you mean. ripped a big ol gash in my shin, 5 inches long, and about a quarter inch deep, last school year while riding my bike at lunch. i was bunnyhopping a curb. it's just embarrasing...

Omygawd, look who the cat drug in! :eek:

How's it going, SM?
Well... I now have to work for a living and to get there I must drive 50 miles each way. Selling shoes is very hard work. :dead:

Aside from that I sold both of the Y-Bikes on eBay and bought a Gary Fisher Sugar 4+. :thumb:
