Ridin' Dirty

So I injured my knee on Thursday. No, I still don't really do sports, so it was nothing so rigorous as rock climbing or as glamorous as slamming the dunk, as they say. Nope, I was loading the dishwasher and something popped inside my knee. Pain ensued. Turns out it was nothing too terrible, but a strained ligament. So I've got a knee brace and some ibuprofen (and a few days off from work).

Anyway, DiploWhat and I went to Target today, and I didn't want to walk all around to aggravate the injury, so I got to use an "Amigo Smartshopper" and cruise around the store. Unfortunately, cruising speed in that thing was slower than Tahra's normal pace -- yet amusingly faster than many other shoppers.

We didn't have a camera with us, but I assure you that I was on the lookout for the haters wanting to catch me riding dirty. All I got was people jumping in front and generally getting in my way -- the conspiracy extends from the roadway to the shopping centers.

In other news, we're getting artwork hung so the place is coming together. Just a bit of miscellany that we both seem reluctant to tackle and get put away.

I've been thinking about changing the URL for my blog, but even though my ideal does not exist (wogspot.blogspot.com) it seems that I can't have it. Wonder why...

I prefer "jointly challenged."

See, this is why you need to carry a camera with you at all times. Hee!!

Hope your knee recovers soon.
