Hey There How Was your Day??

[Ginger]

This morning I didn't work out because I have a little head injury and the women in my writing group last night said I might have had a mild concussion and shouldn't do anything strenuous for about a week.

I was putting together an Ikea futon bed and I tried to lift one of the sections that has a lot of slats by one of the slats and it popped off and flew up and hit me in the forehead.

I have a small bump and it broke the skin and is sore and I had bad headaches all day yesterday but today was better.

When it happened I cried, not out of fear but just the shock of the pain. Then I posted on my neighborhood Facebook page basically begging LOL for someone to come help me.

Of course the only people who responded were two lesbians.

One of them came over tonight with her pit bull and helped me put the futon bed together.

My friend M from across the street was horrified I was letting a stranger come over with her dog so she came over too so it was the three of us and of course it was fine.

I made the woman who came over to help, a smoothie and gave her a beer. She was very nice and I really appreciated her help. The three of us sat and talked a while afterwards, admiring our work.

Earlier today at work I wrote a draft of an article about an innovative new math class that blends quantitative literacy with algebra.

I joked around with my co-worker, sending links to articles back and forth to each other. He is a total news whore with a Columbia journalism degree so he moves through the day's news like a shark that stays alive by moving through water.

I really appreciate getting the "best of" all the news every day, the best analysis etc. from him.

And he is SO GAY and we have so much fun.

Now I have to clean up my apartment. I made a mess making that smoothie. I put in strawberries, banana, orange, cocoa, chia seeds, strawberry kefir and a little milk. She LOVED it.
