It turns out that she broke both her arm and her leg. She had used a chair to climb up on the counter in order to dust the tops of the cabinets. “But that’s the way I always do it,” she is said to have groaned. Makes perfect sense. Myself, I have accidentally sat down on my glasses three times this week. In the end it proved to be too much strain for one of the arms, which promptly gave up the ghost. This was my backup pair, since I sat on my good pair last month. I repaired the arm with some tape borrowed from the handyman, and finally found the time to bring the other pair to the optician.
