I've sprained an ankle before, but first time I've ever sprained some muscle behind my right knee simply from walking 9.7 (very uneven) kilometers.

Can bicycle just fine, can walk fine once I get going, but getting up and sitting down and the first few steps hurts behind that knee before it just--stops.

Keeping it elevated for now, hoping it helps heal it.

A few years ago I realized I kept visiting the same small towns in my dreams. Everytime I tried to map them out, I'd start to blank out. So if I have trouble sleeping at night, I imagine I bicycle through one of these towns and go to sleep pretty fast.

Before I get to a town, there is a bar that keeps changing colors on the outside walls. Different bands play "Ring of Fire".

Works for me, no idea if it would work for anyone else.

Bicycled in 40 C to give my O- blood. They were going for platelets until nurse saw how buried my veins are. She got it first try, though. But it was too slow. Older nurse came by and slightly moved it and I was pumping it out.

So thankful. My spouse (lab work, not donation) usually ends up with 3 or 4 bruises before they finally take it from her hand (where she told them too take it from in the first place).
