Pre-Trial Results

Posted in gym mess, milestones, tagged , , , , on June 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I went to the gym to see how long it would take me to do the 3.5 mile juant.
I decided on the elliptical as I have been having some serious ankle/hip pain due to the London-esque weather (read: rainy) here lately.
After getting bored and deciding I had enough, I pulled the towel off the stat [...]

Dear Brain,

Posted in note to self, tagged , , on May 19, 2008 | No Comments »

Dear Brain,
For around 29 years now, there have been fingers at the end of the hands.
Please be more mindful of them because you’ve unwittingly misplaced the third one in six months and now my pinky is all purple and swollen.
I know that you know that there are nerves in said fingers and that I am [...]

Stupid Voice in my Head, Always being right…

Between machines, Mental Image Stephanie is cheering me on.
Who’s hot?
Who’s fierce?
Who’s kicking butt?
I sit down at a contraption I saw from the bicep curl (you would THINK that after the Arc Trainer, PERHAPS I would have known better…)
“Deltoid/Pec Fly”
And as I’m setting the machine up and finding out where my tolerance is, another voice chimes [...]

Evidence of the injury.

Below, you’ll be able to see the injury.  I think it’s a bit gross, so that sounds like fair warning.
If I knew how to work my camera, there’d be better focus…
Okay, so here we have the side with the hardened blood blister. I thought this was the side I broke, but you’ll [...]

Pwned1!!

I had a medication follow-up at the doctors office yesterday.
When in Rome…. I asked the PA to take a look at my (still hurting and swollen and purple) finger.
She obliged.
I am NOT kidding, she gasped and took a stop back.   She pokes and prods and presses.
“Would you be willing to get an x-ray done?”, she [...]

In which I again forget where my fingers are (not as dirty as it sounds)

Posted in General Mischief, married life, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 11, 2008 | No Comments »

Walking into the house last night, I’m juggling a bag of take-out, my purse, a shaker of cinnamon, two fortune cookies and my keys.
I quickly pull the door closed behind me as it is 6 degrees (yes, Fahrenheit), the wind chill is -18 (yes, Fahrenheit) and I don’ want ANY of that in my house.

A Fantastic Afternoon at Emergency Care

Posted in General Mischief, work life, tagged , , on November 28, 2007 | No Comments »

It was a normal afternoon.
I was doing some paperwork, some filing.
Due to it being the end of the year, the cabinet drawers are quite heavy.  The cabinet company was very smart in putting self-closing drawers so the cabinet doesn’t tip when drawers are left open.
This is a fantastic idea, except for when reaching to keep [...]
