I Missed the Step. Then I Went for Jim’s

Half asleep. Phone in my hand. Patio light off. Stepped out toward the garage, missed the step in the dark, stumbled.

Caught myself. Forearm found the edge of the door instead.

Throb. Immediate.

First thought wasn’t ice. Wasn’t the light switch I should’ve hit. First thought was Jim’s.

I’m down to the last big bottle. Couple pumps on the forearm. Let it sit.

The method I actually use now

Extra at night.

Not a ceremony. A heavier pass before bed so it’s on while you’re horizontal instead of using the arm. I woke up still tender — not that hot, injured, don’t-touch-it feeling. Sore. Functional. Daily life didn’t get cancelled.

Two days later I’m looking at a small bruise. That’s the leftover. Not the whole arm running the house.

I’m not writing a study. I’m writing a dark patio, a door frame, and the jar that was already in reach.

Why that was the first thought

Because this is what the bottle is for in real life.

Not a marble counter. A missed step. CBD + DMSO so it doesn’t just sit on the skin. THC-free. Last big bottle, so you notice when you’re low.

The patio light is still the smarter move. Jim’s is what you grab when you didn’t make the smarter move.
