Ah, Fred. Have you tried acupuncture? It worked like magic on my sinus problems.

My plans for today are to call the chiro at 9:05 and see if I can get an appointment for today, shower, find breakfast and see if I can schedule a cheapie massage for today. Unfortunately my gym has no flexibility classes today, and I don't want to risk taking yoga since they may make me do something strength-related, and I don't have any of that to give away right now. I'm moving around, and the body's feeling better slowly.

I have no idea where I'll be having breakfast, but I feel I can treat myself to someone else's pancakes and sausage.

Dear Client,

You sent me an urgent request after 5pm on a Friday. It's barely Monday noon. You are not allowed to freak out on me yet.

Dear Other Client,

You submitted a request approximately 30 minutes ago. Please don't send my account executives to freak out on me for at least a full hour.

seething,
shrift

Adding my congratulations to ita on putting another belt on her notch.

Also, adding my condolences to quester and Jars.

I think I'm redlining on gronk today. Not. Happy.

A man with a loose shoelace fell down a flight of stairs in the Fitzwilliam Museum

Oh man. When I was 16, I fell down a long marble stairway at the Glyptotek in Copenhagen. I was wearing clogs and tripped. Luckily, the Glyptotek didn't have any valuables in or around that stairway so all I killed was my pride.

Also condolences to Jars and her friend's family.

I'm pretty sure the only thing I've severely damaged by falling down has been my person. I guess it makes 'you break it, you buy it' much more simple...

I do think the Fitzwilliam should be a little more careful about the placement of priceless antiques, if a person falling down the stairs means 3 are shattered. I mean, people do fall down stairs sometimes. Most museums I've been to keep such things in nice big plexiglass boxes for this reason.

ita, just a note - if you attend a yoga class they can't make you do any of it, can they? I mean, you could go and just not do anything you didn't feel up to. Unless LA gyms have some strange coercion thing I'm not aware of.

I'm with shrift. Boy, howdy.

Any Buffista cooks ever used this? I just read a complimentary review of it in the Cool Tools blog. I hate garlic presses, and hate mincing with a knife, so I'm curious.

This just in....the internets is full of crazy people. I need a walk about and food.

if you attend a yoga class they can't make you do any of it, can they?

Of course they can't! I'm a motherfucking khagora khooma! Uh, I mean, no. Just that it'd be a waste of an outing. I don't even want to do downward dog much right now. Chiro's scheduled for 11:45, which gives me ample time to go out for brekkie (have picked restaurant), look into a massage, and just generally move slowly and get my body back into gear.

Hell, I want to train tonight, get as much in before the nerve block wears off. And I'd actually like to like to go into work tomorrow.
