Can I even call it a sports injury?
Don't mean for my posts to have a woe-is-me theme, but at least they're funny. I pulled a muscle in my right leg this morning. And it wasn't even doing something exciting like chasing after a purse snatcher or running from Satan. I pulled it in a big yawn-stretch in bed. I guess I overdid it a little on the treadmill the day before. What would the headline of this story read? Girl Injured in Overzealous Yawn? I iced my calf down w/ a package of frozen mixed vegetables in cheese sauce, but it was no use.
So I spent the whole day hobbling around work w/ my right foot pointing sharply to the side, dragging it like Igor from Frankenstein. It took me nearly 5 minutes to walk the block home from work this evening, which included the two times I had to stop to rest.

It is common knowledge that frozen corn works much better for sports injuries. That pic of you sure is a scary one, do your co workers flee or grab pitchforks and torches? J/K . :)
It's a financial institution. Only robbers are allowed to bring in pitchforks and torches. That pic is from the security camera of me on my way to the copy machine. Maybe that's why I only helped one customer all day.
Hello, Jessica's sister.
I cam sympathize with the leg pain.
Mine are killing me to after my 40 kilometer walk thanks to a ride that bailed on me
Is the pain killing ya? call me if it does. Questions on "Things I couldn't live without" Who's Al Michaels and what is floss? (more later)O&X
Injured while yawing in bed? Someone is getting old before her time. (And no, I'm not referring to myself. Nice try.) If I were you, I think I would've lied and said it was a kickboxing injury or something.
Our father has asked, "What is floss?" I hope there's some kind of inside joke between the two of you to explain that. :) Of course, I'm now trying to remember if there was ever any dental floss in the home as I was growing up... I'm going to assume he's implying he never flosses, which is proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I take terrible care of my teeth!
The pain wasn't that bad until I got home from work and my calf slowly started to swell up like one of those little pills you put into a bathtub and they grow into a dinosaur sponge. It's better today though. Al Michaels is a commentator of Sunday Night Football along w/ John Madden. John is so in love w/ the sound of his own voice that he continues to talk even when the ref is giving a call.
Jessica, I think Dad is gloating that he was blessed with nice, healthy white teeth. I look anything sweet and it goes right to my cavities (instead of my hips).
That's quite the yawn... Perhaps in the future you need to do a few cursory leg stretches in advance.
