ksmith: (my bike)
Up earlier than usual this morning to get my bike ride in--the nice dip into cooler temps is on the upswing again, and I'd rather ride in the morning/70s than afternoon/80s. 8.4 miles, although I don't think I went that much farther than I did the last time I rode. I think the gear setting affects the odometer reading, but I could be wrong.

I'm trying to avoid straining my knees, but even though I'm not putting much pressure on them, they're still starting to bug me. Insides of both knees, the left more so than the right, which is strange because the right knee is the one I torqued the hell out of 5 months ago. Guess I'll play it safe by icing them and taking ibuprofen. What a complete pain in the neck.

Errands run. Bought a clip-on desk lamp and power strip for the day job cubicle This is my new cubicle, which is right across the aisle from my old one--they're building additional offices, and part of the plan involves removing some of the cubicles and moving the occupants about like one of those puzzle games. You know the kind--a square containing tiles that you move about one at a time until you form the picture of the tiger? Anyway, we packed up Thursday and moved Friday, at which time they moved phones and computers. Got hooked up and unpacked, muttering softly all the while as I realized that I had moved to a mirror-image cube, which meant everything was backwards.

Oh well, these are the kinds of things that are supposed to keep your brain cells firing.

Lunch--ham on sourdough with tomato-mozzarella salad. Fresh coffee. Good stuff. Now I think I'll ice my knees and write.

...I noticed a few new names in my Friends list over the last week or two. Introduce yourselves, if you have a mind to. In any case, thanks for stopping by--I try to keep thing as as interesting as possible considering I'm wrapped up in job/house/dogs/book.

In otherworldly news, they've discovered a 10th planet, which I think is really cool:
