I am very careful in my movements to avoid falling.

I remember when my Dad was here helping me with finishing my house...one day he walked out onto my driveway which has a fairly steep slope. He stepped onto some frost and slipped and came down in a fetal position. Ooomph he said. Fortunately no injury. It is always good to land on your side if you can. Dad would have been in his seventies at that time I imagine.

I'm gonna go swim today.
