Once again, reflexes saved me from injury. Today, I was so tired from trying to stay at work despite incomplete recovery from surgery, I was in a state that one can only call impaired. I was impaired not from any substance abuse, but merely from fatigue. I was making serious mistakes, such as missing the desk with something I wanted to set on it. I thought, I must be very careful, driving home. I was, and I guess thats why I had second thoughts about driving into a line of oncoming traffic. Good. I made it home. I carried into the apartment a heavy video tripod and a large camera bag of video equipment. The apartment was unlighted, and I was wearing my sunglasses, because it was very bright outside. I set the large bag on the floor. I then proceeded to trip over it. I began to fall and wake up at the same time. My reflexes decided to grab a nearby folding chair and drag it quickly under me. This was good for me, but bad for the chair. My reflexes, being way smarter than me at the time, knew that the chair would break my fall, which it did, and I didnt suffer the slightest injury while the chair was crushed. When it was all over, I was able to bend the chair back into a more-or-less chair shape. We seem to be all fine.
