ADVENTURES IN YARD WORK

I arrived home about noon.  I ate some lunch and before going back outside to do yard work, I smoked a bit.

I grabbed the yard bin with the green lid and tried to drag it across the lawn by the bar that the waste trucks use to lift the bins.  It wasn't working, so I opened the lid and proceeded to tip it back on its wheels to push it.

Since the lid was open when I tipped the bin back towards me, I ended up stepping on the lid with one foot - which trapped the other foot under the lid.

I lost complete control of everything.  In that moment, it was one impact to my body after another, as I came crashing down.  With every blow to my bones, I kept wishing it would be the last.  Finally, my skull hit the bin wall and I was laying INSIDE the bin.  I stayed there.  

A neighbor came running outside, she saw the whole thing.  As she was trying to help me up, out of sheer embarrassment I asked, "Did you get that on video?"
