I was carrying Charlie to his bed to put him in it, and thanks to my clunky ortho-friendly shoes I turned my ankle and fell down, dropping Charlie on the floor and hitting my shoulder and the back of my head on his play table. He is fine, although he was very startled and needed much comforting. I am less fine, although it is not a serious head injury, just a bump on the noggin, but I'm rattled and it hurt like a mofo for a half hour, and is tender.
I've been checking my pupils every half hour or so, and I'm staying up for a while, and then husband and I will be getting up in a few hours to check my coherence and sanity and stuff. I don't expect them to be any worse than usual but I'm doing exactly what the first aid thingies say to do.
WTF, this week?

Hope your head bump turns out to be trivial.
