Awww thanks, Hermione !

The gruesome details...I was riding in the passenger seat of a friend's car when we were hit by a mini-SUV running a stop sign. The crossroads were at a sharp angle to each other so when the other vehicle hit us, it struck the front right corner of our car. Luckily my friend only received a bump on her forehead from the steering wheel but I was a bit more battered. The impact rammed much of the passenger side compartment. My right leg was pushed practically up to my chest and I wound up with a sprained ankle, jammed knee, and a broken pinkie toe.

Good news is my knee and ankle are basically okay now, they're just a little sore and slightly swollen. The toe still hurts - glad I can drive most of the way to-and-from work using cruise control so I don't have to press my foot on the gas pedal. I guess I won't be jumping rope for a little while but I'm anxious to do something...maybe Pilates.

Oh and this is goofy (or maybe just sad), but as I was sitting on the ground waiting for the sheriff to show up, I noticed that the car that hit us was an Aztek and I thought, "Hey, I think that's what Lex won during Survivor Africa!" The experience also reinforced my preference for being the driver rather than the passenger. It was pretty scary seeing those headlights coming straight towards me and being unable to do anything about it. Plus we were listening to this slow, ethereal song - "10,000 Miles" by Mary Chapin-Carpenter - that was featured in the opening car crash scene of the movie Fly Away Home, which lent a somewhat eerie aural backdrop to the screeching of brakes and crunch of metal-on-metal.

Okay enough of that melodrama...I wanted to mention this great book I came across recently. It's called Cool Yoga Tricks by Miriam Austin. It shows all types of ways to modify yoga postures and other stretches with props. For example, there's a nifty trick using yoga blocks to support the upper body while doing the splits.


P.S. I loved the dancing Calvin & Hobbes btw!!! I've been reading one of my C&H collections lately and have the first Complete Peanuts 1950-1952 collection too. *Sigh* There just don't seem to be any current newspaper comic strips that I really love anymore.

So much for me not posting any more off-the-leash comments, lol. I'll try harder from now on!

Calamity, I, for one, absolutely LOVE reading your "stream of consciousness" posts. I think we are a lot alike in many ways and I will often read something you wrote and get so tickled because it is so exactly like something I would write, think or do! Your whole Chariots of Fire running scenario is similar to something I would come up with while running! There is something very reassuring about finding a kindred spirit! I am so glad you escaped "relatively" unscathed from your accident. I know too many people who have lost their lives in car accidents. I know the broken toe is a pain in the patootie, but I am glad it was nothing more serious.

Tomorrow I will be going out of town for the weekend for my parents' anniversary party which is this Saturday. I don't know if I will have a chance to post again tomorrow, but I will catch up with everyone on Sunday.

Yankee, so glad you enjoyed the Vegas trip!


Tonight- run- 35 minutes; walk- 10 minutes; total- 45 minutes.

I think I am going to do Yoga or Pilates and free weights in a bit so I may pop back in here, LOL.
