questionoftheday asks: What was the dumbest, most embarrassing injury you ever obtained?

My answer: Something startled me and I jumped backwards, hit a car, and wound up with a grapefruit-sized BLACK bruise on my ass cheek. This thing was solid black and only became purple-blue at the edges. It was also not fun sitting on.

I have errands to run today, and a trip out to Jax Oriental Market is one of them. It's kind of out of the way so I ten to wait until I need a significant number of things to make it worth my while.

Yesterday's long run was a challenge. I think this is especially so because being on the treadmill means I can quit at any time, whereas running outside I only have the option to quit every four miles. I run a loop near here that begins and ends at some telephone switch boxes about 7/10 of a mile from the house. It's actually more of a trapezoid on the map, but it's 3.98 miles around. But I stuck it out and made it to twenty and I'm not particularly stiff or sore today. I have some soreness in my calf muscles but on the 1 to 10 pain scale it's maybe a 0.5 now. And I'm up to episode 16 of Attack on Titan which is just incredible. I am really into this show.

It's getting cold again here - though again I want to qualify that by saying it's cold for Florida. But it doesn't look like by the forecast it will freeze again this week. The palm needs to come inside tonight and get locked in the laundry room. I don't know why the cats are so fascinated by that stupid palm tree, but if I want to have any tree at all, I have to cat-proof it. Anyway, it's nice to have days cool enough to wear the heavier sweaters and things in my wardrobe. This opportunity comes only about three months out of the year, so sweater up while you can.

Meh. I really want to go to the book store. Maybe I'll do that today, I haven't been in a couple of months.
