Started my morning in a fairly routine way. Showered. Put makeup on while I iced down my ankle. Straightened my hair. Not really sure where it all went wrong. Went to set my mascara on the end table (because I was putting makeup on with my leg propped up on the recliner). Pushed the remote … Continue reading Morning Mishaps
