just one damned thing after another

The cough is better, but I woke up this morning with a nasty charley horse, and my left calf is still tight and doesn't want to support my weight. Another day not to go to the gym. I think I'll grab one of these nice books and sit in the park after lunch, at least enjoy the weather if not a walk.

Feh.

Yes; it's a sudden acute calf cramp.

According to www.wordorigins.org (http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorc.htm#charley) it's an obscure baseball idiom, so I'm no longer surprised that it was new to me. Used to get them all the time as a kid, in the sense of `growing pains'.
