Today I have... Thread.

Made my twitter bio

Today I found out that when I do a certain outdoors workout, well I found out I'm doing more than half a marathon and not realizing it. I decided to use one of those GPS things for kicks, and hell... I'm rocking it and never knew. No wonder I come back exhausted to hell and back.
 
After a couple days of being slightly off my feed and insomniac, slept 14 hours then got up and made a Reuben and ate it. Then made another larger one and ate that too. I can tell I'm going to be hungry again soon though.
 
Replaced sprockets and chains, packed the bearings with grease, put loctite on the set screws, and got some of the lights installed. Almost ready to roll.
 
Today I woke up extra early and was just in time for a good ol' heavy thunder storm. Our area in pizza land has needed some rain for a while as some places are dried up, and this was nice. Instead of doing work while listening to vids or music I just sat in the quiet listening to the rain, thunder and seeing the occasional lightning.
 
Went on a bike ride to the waterfront to buy candy and coffee while trying not to get ran over by tourists. Got to share barista knowledge to the young woman at the coffee shop who hadn't heard of an affogado- which is an espresso shot over a scoop of ice cream and is magical AF especially with sea salt caramel ice cream.

She also complimented my shirt.

Maybe she just liked it but she could also be a secret Kiwi. If you're reading this barista girl, the affogado was delicious!
 
Mentally prepared myself for another semester of stupid freshmen who don't give a fuck about what I'm forced to teach. Classes are all at much better times this semester though, which is a silver lining.

A friend also brought me a pot brownie, which I ate a little while ago, so now I'm catching up on lolthreads while Aqua Teen Hunger Force is on in the background.
 
Today I checked my gps tracker again and screen shots I took. Over the last week I unintentionally did more than an entire marathon (in segments). If you would have asked me four years ago I would be going the distance... I'd probably flame ya.
 
Today I tried to get up into the ceiling of my house, because two of the rooms smell like death and I think there's a rat or a possum that's died in the ceiling or in the wall. I had a bitch of a time getting the ladder into the bathroom where the access is because the ladder is bloody heavy and the bathroom is awkwardly shaped. I finally managed to get it into position but I couldn't secure it because there wasn't enough room to spread it apart to get the safety latches into position. I went up it anyway, and discovered that I was still too short to reach the crawlspace. Then, when I was going back down the ladder, it fell sideways and I ended up falling on my back into the bathtub. Now I'm developing some spectacular bruises, and the house still reeks. I guess we're lucky because it's winter and it's too cold for maggots and flies. I'm going to have to wait for my housemate to come home, and ask if he will go up into the crawlspace himself.

It really sucks being a shortarse and having to rely on guys to do shit for me. Bloody sexual dimorphism.

EDIT: Some hours later. I am in a good amount of pain. I only fell about four or five feet, but it hurts out of proportion to the fall. I haven't cracked my ribs or anything like that, but moving my arm at the shoulder pulls badly at the area I landed on. Bruises haven't come through at all, which is disappointing. If I'm going to hurt myself this badly, I want something colourful to look at. I will go to the doctor tomorrow, but I doubt there's anything to be done except call me an idiot and tell me to stay away from ladders.

Update:

Am extremely sore. I haven't been to the doctor yet. Need to get on that. I'm rather annoyed because the only sign of damage is a very faint bruise roughly the size of my palm. If I'm going to hurt this much, I want trophies. I want battle scars. I want to be coloured vivid black and purple. Instead I've got a wussy pale blue mark that looks like nothing. Very unfair.

Be careful on ladders, ladies and gents.
 
Well, shit. Went to my doctor because my back still hurts like a bitch. She thinks I've actually fractured a thoracic vertebrae. We'll know for certain when my x-rays come back on Monday. I attempted going food shopping after I had the x-ray... very bad idea, as it turns out, I think I'm going to need help with that until my back gets better. I also really need to do chores like the laundry, but I can't bend down at all.

My housemate has given me an edible, swearing it'll cure all my pain. I don't know how it's going to go as I've never had an edible before; pot gives me paranoia and auditory hallucinations so I've never seen the point of trying one. But what the hell, try anything once.

Both of the housemates have utterly refused to get up into the ceiling and find what's making the house smell like corpses. The smell is fading now so that's something. It's probably a rat. If it were a brushtail or a ringtail possum that's died up there it'd smell a lot worse.
