It was raining on and off yesterday so the roads were wet and slippery. This would have been alright except that my prized sneakers' soles apparently have almost no grip, resulting in me falling thrice in very public places with lots of witnesses within 6 hours.

It all started when I was heading to a yoga class. I was standing at a traffic crossing with a slight slope waiting for the light to turn green. The next moment, I suddenly slipped and fell. I landed mostly on my right butt and used my right hand to break the fall. The skin on my right palm was slightly red and irritated and my right butt hurt a little. But overall, it was not too bad and I just got up and went to my class.

After yoga class, I was all dolled up and feeling amazing as I headed to dinner which was ten minutes' walk away. As I was waiting at another traffic crossing, I suddenly slipped and fell again! This time, I landed on my left and ended up with a slightly twisted left ankle and cuts on my left palm and thigh. It was so painful I teared up and had to call my friend to come help me to the dinner venue. We ended up being late as I had to clean up the cuts and could only limp due to my ankle.

Dinner took 3 hours so my left ankle was feeling better by the time we left. However, I then made a terrible decision to join other friends for drinks. As I was waiting at another traffic crossing to go grab a cab, I managed to slip and fall again! This time, I twisted my left ankle again and hurt my left arm as I tried to use it to block my fall.

Currently typing this with my right hand as I am laid up with a twisted left ankle and a swollen left arm that I can't straighten fully. It's difficult for me to even put on my clothes as my left arm is painful af everytime I try to move it. The worst thing is that it's a major holiday where I am so I have to limp to a family celebration shortly.

TLDR; fell down thrice in 6 hours due to rain and shoes with no grip, now dealing with a twisted ankle and a swollen arm and an existential crisis since it hurts to move, need to limp to a family celebration shortly and grin through the pain.
