Today, I finally felt better after having the flu for two weeks. I decided to do some much-needed cleaning that I hadn't been able to do while sick. I tripped over my rug and broke my ankle. FML

Today, after two months of recovering from a sprained ankle, the doctor told me I was fully healed. On the way to my car from the doctor's, I stepped on some leaves, which were covering a small hole. A hole big enough for me to trip on and give me another sprained ankle. FML

Don’t feel bad over tripping over the rug, it was deceptively flat..

Ah, the classic dilemma of would you rather have a clean house or intact ankles. Truly a problem we all face at some point in our lives.

Now you have a valid excuse for hiring a maid — cleaning is just too hazardous for an amateurs!

I’ll take Intact Ankles for a 1000, Alex. Cleaning is too much Jeopardy!

There are better ways to get out of cleaning the house.

It’s pretty easy to trip over rugs, pets, small children, and other household obstacles. I’ve done it more times than I can count. I’ve never broken anything though. You must have tripped in a once in a lifetime, perfect storm of angles and impact pressure to pull that off. Hope you are in a field of work or study that doesn’t require the use of that limb for a while.
