Stay vertical!

Lots of single people seem to be landing on their asses recently. These aren't broken hearts and emotional breakdowns. These are real falls. The kind that break bones and bang people up.

There is definitely a trend with three falls since Friday - not including Lucy's fall from my second floor loft. And the trend is with people who are not old - they're in their 20s and 30s.

On Friday, I learned my friend had just slid down the last four steps of her parents' stairs and fractured her wrist. It's her writing arm - and she's moving this week. How inconvenient. I'm not certain if she was sober when it happened. She opted to wrap it herself and skip the doc since she doesn't have health insurance.

This morning I heard about another single friend who fell last night carrying a cup of tea. She spent a few hours in the ER to learn she's banged up and has a nasty burn from the hot tea, but all still in tact.

Then the winning fall was no accident. Early Sunday morning, a guy I know thought it would be cool to jump from the party hostess' second floor balcony. News flash...Superman is fiction. Bet he's still sore today. What a way to wrap up a Saturday night holiday party.

Single girls, please be careful! Casts, crutches and bruises are not this holiday season's latest accessories. And it's tough to feel fabulous when it hurts to move.

And for god's sake, if you do have a mishap and hit your head or body parts swell, go to the doc! Even if you don't have insurance, your health is the most worthy investment.

Love to the single girls,
Addison
