You Say Mindless Boring Drivel - I say Minutiae!

[thoreau]

This morning in San Francisco, it is sunny but only 45 degrees - we're at roughly HALF the temperature it was here just this past Monday. That is just plain crazy - to sweat to death one day and then need the heat on when you get up two days later.

This morning while walking Miss Kate I had a very scary albeit more embarrassing than anything fall. She launched after a squirrel super fast and I was not really paying too close attention - and I was standing on wet pavement. When she yanked - I did a full 180 in the air landing with my shoulder first in a concrete planter and my hip on the sidewalk. All in the view of cars qued up for morning rush hour traffic at Polk and Hayes street. I half expected people to show signs like judges at gymnastics competitions. Impacts like that really hurt - and I'm limping a little (i think my ankle didn't like it much either) - - but I don't think there is any permanent damage at all. Deciding not to tempt fate any further - I'm working from home today.

Serious work on the new book last night - I was up till around midnight working and typing. I am so glad I took some dialogue courses and did some more reading and researching this round - I'm really proud of how things are developing.

I launched a new simplified version of my personal homepage @ robertmcdiarmid.com

Be gentle with yourself for a few days.. that sounded like it HURT.

I hope you did not hurt yourself any further. I have nearly had my arm ripped out the socket, at least it felt like it, when Miss Kate decided to go another direction than I was. Take care of yourself.

You are lucky that you can work from home. My boss says I can do it, at least in theory, but when an actual situation comes up, she always comes up with "reasons" for me to make the trek in, but she can do it at least one day a week. Hmmm.

no gym for me today obviously. Sorry, lovey. So far - no muscle aches besides where I made impact. so I'll take it easy.

Owee! A few weeks ago, I was walking thru a pub with Ross, turned sideways a bit to chat, when I missed a shallow, and therefore ridiculous step. (Never went back--the step is a hazard and the owners could easily create a ramp to compensate.) Landed fully on my knee, since I have my arm in a cast and can't catch myself. Knee still hurts when I kneel (not that I pray a whole lot).

Take care, and my knee wishes your ankle/hip/shoulder well!

Just take care of yourself. I will see you on Tuesday.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

I emailed you the beginning of the next block of writing today :)

Hope your knees improve!!!

[audrabaudra.livejournal.com]

Will have a look! Can't wait for another good read :-)

OUCH! I hope Miss Kate gave you some "I'm sorry" licks.

Take care of yourself!

Hope you're not too bruised/sore..... Sounds painful.

Did she catch the squirrel.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

Miss Kate isn't about catching them - but simply asserting herself as the bringer of squirrel panic and terror. I have no idea what she'd do if she actually caught one. I think honestly - she'd want to see if it wanted to play. I have never seen the goddess be aggressive at any time.

YIKES!!! I am glad you didn't hit your head on the concrete too... I hope you heal fast...
