Wounded

Yesterday we went to the library and then the store. I was bringing things in afterward - the boys went with me and forgot there were groceries in the back of the van once we got home. I decided to bring everything in at once...by myself. There were only a couple of things from the store and a total of four items I had checked out of the library. So - it seemed manageable.
I loaded up and heading for the house. I got through the gate and chose to attempt closing it with my foot. The first try didn't quite make it happen. I tried again and when I brought my foot back down, I twisted my right ankle, lost my balance and fell to the ground with the library bag and groceries spilling around me. I ended up flat on my back. I also felt the sensation in my right hand, wrist, and arm that let me know I had used them to try and break my fall. I stayed there for a bit - regrouping and then wondering if anyone even noticed. No one seemed to have noticed because I laid there by myself for a few minutes before picking things back up and heading inside.
My ankle still hurts. I'm glad it wasn't more serious. I eventually propped it up and put some ice on it.   Hopefully, it won't take too long to heal. I would be great if I could say I learned my lesson - but, judging from past experience - it will not be the last time I try to bring too many things in the house after an errand run.
