Do Over

You know its time to call it a day when you've given yourself a concussion and its not yet even noon.
How would one manage to do such a thing you might ask?
Well for starters you'd have to be me.
Though I'll be it this is a first even for me.
All I wanted was to sleep today for as long as possible. What else are Sunday's for after all.
That's not how it worked out so I headed for the shower. May as well get on with the day. Picture this somewhat upcoming comical phenomenon with me if you will.
Hair all lathered high with shampoo just squeezed out body wash in hand, I knock the very heavy and very full bottle of shampoo off the shelf. Eyes already shut tight I try to guess where this missile projectile might land. And fail. It lands squarely on top of my left foot. Hobbling in pain I turn around into the spray to wash the shampoo off my hair and rinse off my face to see the damage.
I miss again. This time washing shampoo into my already year filled eyes. I rinse quickly. And then begin fumbling for the taps to turn off the water. Nearly scalding myself in said process.
Water now off I blindly fumble for the shower curtain and the towel I know is hanging nearby.

Can anyone else see where this is going?? Review basic comedy 101.
Nearly blind in one eye and hobbling on one good foot in the slippery tub to reach for and find the towel I left hanging nearby. Over the shower rod. I step out of the tub on one foot and give said towel a good yank at the same time.
On any other given day the towel would simply slide free. But not so on this day. No. Instead what occurs is previous mentioned yank sends the entire shower curtain and the rod it hangs from careening downwards. Ending in a collision solely with my forehead directly above my left eye.
Opening my tearing eyes to find the offending towel entangled in the shower curtain. Discovering I had not rinsed off all the soap as I thought and getting it in my eyes yet again.
Dizzy blind from pain and burning soap I fumble for the door knob and stumble down the hall way.
Determining that there is really no need to enter any further into this day. Tomorrow we'll try again. Concluding it is now safer and wiser to simply just go back to bed. Since I have now stubbed my right toe trying to find the bed.
Tomorrow we'll try again.
I can almost hear heads drop and shake back and forth.
Oh what a day.
