It was Tuesday last week, I think. I was do terribly tired, I could barely see two inches in front of me. After I had done my homework, I got up and decided to get a glass of water, to hidrate myself after all the writing I had done.
It's a bit of a blur, if I'm to be honest. It happened so fast, it was hard to make sense of anything anymore. When I actually looked around, I realised I was on the floor, on my back, almost, and there was this sharp pain in my back. It took me several moments before I truly understood what had happened. As I got a glass from the cupboard, I somehow dropped it on the floor, and I had to pick it up, but that wasn't meant to be. Shards of glass were everywhere, and I had to clean it up, annoyed at myself for my clumsiness. To make matters worse, I somehow stepped into one of the shards and then fell backwards, landing into even more glass shards. It hurt so back, on of them literally inside my lower back.
There wasn't much I could do, really, but call for help from my mother, who managed to take the piece out of my back in the end. It was a long, painful process, but it did teach me a lesson. Whenever you're too tired to keep your eyes open, the safest thing to do is sleep, and then get a glass of water.
