Amend that to "Frailty, thy name is Chernobyl Red"

For the love of gods, people.

Last night adammaker came over for dinner and I mentioned to him how when I was taking out the trash earlier in the evening, my right hip just went out and I almost fell down in the back yard. I laughed a bit about how I'm too young for this sort of thing to be happening and I hoped it was just the weird weather and blah blah.

Well, this morning I nearly couldn't get out of bed from the pain and even now the joint feels hot and achey. The sensation of uncomfortable warmth is new, and hence worrisome. My hip joints often ache after a day out at faire, or walking 20+ miles on concrete sidewalks during vacations, but not like this--after a day of fairly easy exercise and self-pampering thanks to That Time Of The Month.

So instead of exercise this morning (in retrospect I should not have posted my exercise goals until I had successfully reached them for a full week), I went to the grocery store and limped around, letting the cart bear a lot of my weight. I will exercise tonight (when I usually go to the grocery store) after my joints are loosened up from the warm walk home and maybe a mixed drink or two (perhaps the stationary bike instead of the ski machine tonight).

In the meantime: Ow.
