I hate the feelings of pure stupidity when I hurt myself.

As a kid you could just feel sorry for yourself and parents would look after you.

As a caregiver myself I now just feel like a big idiot.

(I'm OK. Sore shoulder and a couple of bruises. Will get shoulder checked out on Monday, hopefully.)

@sarajw Tried to relive my youth by stylishly vaulting over a fence. My little finger wasn't on board with this plan. Ended up having to use a support for the finger for two weeks, and a month after the pain is still there. Turns out, adulthood has a way of humbling you one digit at a time.

@sarajw Here's hoping your shoulder heals quickly too 🍻. Maybe we should start a support group for adults who forget they're not invincible anymore?

@emmorts hah! Trying to think of a good name for such a thing... It's like 'memento mori' eh 😅

But ... that's also a good reason to give some things a try anyway even if we might regret it!
