This time it was in the middle of a busy intersection of two main streets!
It wasn't on carpeting........ this time.
I went to the supermarket near work, to buy some coffee & supplies
for the shop.
My shop is located in the historic section of town,
and the cross-walks are of inlaid bricks, rather than just black-top.
A few bricks were missing, and created a sort-of..... pot-hole.
Carrying 4 bags of groceries (2 in each hand) I stepped
right into the pot-hole .....never even saw it...my bi-focals made it
out of focus.
Down I went, groceries spilling into the street, palms of hands and my
right knee (same one as when the dog tripped me) broke my fall and my
face never hit.
Boy, m I gonna be sore tomorrow. Scraped up, knee scraped and banged (still bruised from the fall 2 weeks ago, in the house) palms scraped. My watch band (all metal links) kinda roughed up my wrist, too.
Lucky tomorrow's a day off work.

I feel really stupid.
Fortunate that I crossed when no traffic was there at the moment, but I saw cars approaching when I looked to the right & left while I was down, before I got up. A city worker, street cleaning at the time, came to my assistance (I was really grateful) and helped me gather up the groceries. I was scared, almost had to change underwear (and my constipation for the day would have been solved )

Scared, and stupid...........that's how I feel...and DUMB !
Really shook-up, when I saw the traffic starting to come, and I was still face-down in the middle of the intersection.
