I fall down go BOOM!

In the greater scheme of things this is not a big deal, but I need to whine.

Wednesday I went and bought a load of hay. After I finished unloading I did something I've done a million times before. I hopped backwards off the tailgate. Never been a problem before. This time when I landed my knees gave out I fell backwards onto my butt and back. Got a good smack on the back of my head when it hit the floor. I laid there for a minute to check that everything still worked and crawled to my feet. My left shoulder still is stiff.

I told a friend about it later in the day. She reminded me I'm not 20 anymore. Ok, lesson learned. From now on I will carefully climb down from the truck like a little old lady.

Do the rest of you do this? My body has no problem reminding me I'm an old fart, but in my head I'm still young.
