Compulsive hoarding is a mental disorder that is just beginning to be understood. As a hoarder, I have acquired things over the years with a specific purpose in mind at the time of the acquisition, used some of those items for their intended purposes, forgotten the goal for different objects, but now that I find that they have outlived their purpose in my life I am struggling to rid myself of those same things.

Today, my world turned upside down.

Or rather I saw it upside down. 


Or maybe sideways. 


A little bass ackwards, as it were.


I had to run to the store today, and when I stepped out the front door, my foot landed on the edge of the rubber floor mat outside. I twisted my ankle and felt myself falling in slow motion.


And then I felt myself land.


Hard.


Thankfully, I have plenty of padding in my rear end that it softened the blow a bit. Except I didn't just land on my behind. I landed on my elbow, and it's like it jarred everything in my neck and shoulder as they absorbed the shock of my fall. 


My left hip is a bit sore tonight, but it's my left shoulder and neck that hurt the most. 


Unfortunately, it means I didn't accomplish much of anything today. I'm hoping after a good night's sleep and some pain medicine, I'll feel well enough tomorrow to get something done. 


After all, I have much to do.
