Another crummy little sketch. But, look! Today I have a good excuse!
Now I desperately need a bath

The good news is I didn't scrape my hands. Because I LANDED ON MY HEAD. That would be the bad news. Also I can't lift my left arm. And my left ear hurts (wtf?). But once again New Yorkers show how they are some of the nicest people around—if there's a crisis, you can count on a bunch of strangers to help you. Even the bike messenger swung back around several times until the EMS guys sent me on my way. Oh, yeah—there were EMS guys. But I declined a trip to the ER on St. Patrick's Day. Doctor visit tomorrow. My ear hurts.

Yeeouch!

Gods, navigating NYC on St. Pat's shouldn't be such a nightmare!

I was nearly broadsided by a bunch of bagpipes in a crowd of kilts.

I'm glad the response was human. I've met some of these messengers, and they are all right. Get well soon!

People were very cool. They gathered my things and made sure I didn't lose track of my bag. I said mean things about the messenger while I was sitting in the NYC dirt, but then I saw that he did come back, and came back again, so, I send an apology out into the universe for assuming he had just pedalled off and left me in a heap.

I only saw one kilt yesterday. Men need to wear more kilts, I always say. Or tunics. Or legionary uniforms. Whatever works.

Whew, sense of humor still intact. Close call! Hope you recover quickly (but still get plenty of pampering, as you should).
