Babbles of a Procrastinating Grad Student

Swollen and itchy eyelid = zit on base of eyelid next to the lash line.  Just cuz I know you all wanted to know.  :P

In other news, I have a house guest for a while!  A friend of mine is staying with me for a bit, which is pretty cool.  We had fun baking scones this evening.  Hopefully I'll be able to track down an air mattress for her soon, since my couch is not that comfy to sleep on for very long.

No, this post is not about vegetable rights, although that would be a fun post to write. :)

So, yesterday, I got up and felt a little stiff in the legs, but chalked it up to sleeping weirdly the night before (as I'm apt to do). It got worse as the day wore on, but still, didn't think much of it. Was working on a term paper and had parked my butt on the couch most of the day, so I just figured it was stiffness from inactivity.

This morning? OH GOSH PAIN! I've been hobbling around since I got up. I had no idea what the cause was, but then I was talking to one of the Office Ladies and she figured it out.

GARDENING IS MURDER ON THE LEGS!

Seriously, this is stupid. An hour-and-a-half pulling weeds does this? And that was on Saturday! Today's Monday, and I'm still feeling it! This is entirely not fair.


On the other hand, I really enjoyed the gardening, and if it's that much of a work out, I might convince The Lords to let me weed the garden all summer! Relaxation, time out of my dank basement domain, and a workout all in one. ;)
