one of those days

I stayed home yesterday because of a sore knee--there was nothing that couldn't wait until today, so I opted to mostly sit and rest, sit and read on a park bench, that sort of thing.

Feeling better this morning, I came to work.

As I was waiting to buy my usual morning roll and cup of tea, someone stepped backward onto my right foot. Hard. With her heel, so with most of her weight.

I shouted. She moved, and relieved the immediate pain, then explained that she'd been moving away from someone else's just-lit cigarette. Okay, but you don't have eyes in the back of your head, so either turn or move in some other direction. Ouch.

Fortunately, I keep a cold compress in the freezer here.

But it's being another of those days. If not for how gorgeous the morning was, I'd wish I'd stayed in bed. As is, I just wish I'd stayed in Inwood Hill Park.
