about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

I'm more than a little frustrated this morning. I fell, tripped over some broken sidewalk, and skinned my knee.

This happened on Monday. Since then, my life has been all about my knee.

Monday, it swelled up to the size of a grapefruit. All I could think about was the pain. I iced it, it went down quite a bit.

Tuesday, it didn't hurt unless I moved it.

Today, there is a low-grade ache that is there all the time, and moving the leg, or heaven forbid, bending the knee -- excruciating! It is so no fair!

I am dying to be bicycling. It cooled way down on Tuesday, so it would have been perfect cycling weather. Same with today. But no, I'm on the bus, captive in a tin can of klutzy teenagers and cranky hipsters.

right after your post in my RSS reader was this story about rubber sidewalks.

Hope your knee feels better soon!

Stuck on the bus AND an injury - I guess that's where the term "insult on top of injury" comes from? Hope you recover soon!
