Tuesday morning, I slipped on ice going into work and scraped my left knee. Also broke the few dishes I was taking in for the breakroom. (Silverware survived, tho.) I stayed and worked the whole day, tho I had a few times of achiness. Duh. I didn't have all the ingredients for what I wanted to fix for dinner, so I ordered Pizza Hut pasta online. Not bad, but the marinara pasta needed the extra sauce I ordered. Off to bed.
Wednesday morning, I roll onto my back and my right leg does not want to straighten out all the way. I get out of bed and limp to the bathroom. Walking seems to help my leg loosen up a bit, but not much. Get dressed, eat cereal as I read a bit of email and watch "FrightNight." Decent movie, some cool effects, and David Tennant is fun to watch. (He'll always be Doctor Who, tho.)
Rasple and I went to Kokoro for lunch. Then I dropped him off at Dark Matter for his Pokemon league. I went to King Soopers, got the few things I needed, got home and started dinner. The bracket that holds the grating disc in the food processor broke, so I hand grate the cheese, and grate a bit of my right thumb, too. I got the rellenos in the oven without any more trouble. I started the green chili and splashed hot oil onto my right wrist, then watched blisters grow as I finished getting the rest of the ingredients in the pot. Finally, sit for a bit and bandage my arm.
The rellenos were pretty good (made with real roasted chilis), topped with sour cream and grape tomatoes, with refried beans & cheese on the side, and a Tawny Owl beer to drink. I haven't tasted the green chili yet, but it's smelled good. It's made with the same kind of chilis.
My right leg still protests when I stand up. The tendons in the back of the knee seem to be the problem. I'm going to rub some Blue Emu on my legs tonight, take a couple ibuprofen and hope tomorrow (er, today) the legs will be better, as I work in the afternoon. If I can keep moving, I think I'll be okay.
