I have been alternating running jogging with walking on the treadmill. I hate it. I’d rather get a pap smear from the dentist. But whatever, I need to burn some calories.
The other day I was walking through the grocery store (Publix) and OUT OF NOWHERE I had a shocking, shooting, sharp pain in my left knee. I felt like I would fall…but I froze in my tracks…I looked around to see if anyone had shot me with a bee bee gun, a poison dart or a Taser.
The produce guy was eyeing me suspiciously. I’ve got his number.
I did some birth type breathing and the pain left…I grabbed my V8 six pack and slowly headed to safety.
I can’t imagine if that shooting pain hits me while on the treadmill….I’ve heard the term “road kill”…so, would I be “tread Kill”????
I’m getting old.
I am going to stock up on prunes and doily covered tissue boxes.

Well, if you didn’t know it already, the world will be ending on Saturday.
I hope you don’t have any big/special plans.
I told the girls…well, I suppose we shouldn’t go anywhere on Saturday.
and they both said: OR WE should GO EVERYWHERE!!!!
So we will either be nowhere or everywhere.
Where will you be when the world ends??
Have a great Friday and whatever part of Saturday you can.
XOXOXOOX
Let's see, how does it go? The 'righteous' are zoomed up to heaven nekkid? I might have to get nekkid down here on earth :)
ReplyDeleteI will be taking Kaish to acting class and then shooting a party in the city : ) I asked Gary to please get home by 11 pm that day so I could spend one hour with him on the last day on earth. He told me he didn't know if the boss would go for that. Last Saturday he worked until midnight. We will see.
ReplyDeleteThat naughty lady is FUNNY!
Good thing you didn't fall in Publix. Does your treadmill have the little thingy that you clip to your shirt while you're running/jogging/walking that will stop the treadmill if you fall?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking maybe that naughty lady needs to start eating her prunes...then maybe she wouldn't be so naughty. :)
When I was in college, the world was suppose to end. Yep, we partied as any self-respecting college kids would do if the world was going to end!
HAHA,(on the end, and the old gal. NOT your knee) Have you seen my take on it? What a hoot! Lets see, I'll be having lunch with a friend and shopping for a comfy new antigravity lawn chair. As for your knee, take care not to overstress it. All that exercise won't do diddly if you can't walk anymore! Slow down. That's what us old gals do when we're not sharing our finger with the world :)
ReplyDeleteCheering my favorite hockey guy, learning about trees with my favorite Cub Scout, cheering the real survivors at Relay for Life, and maybe indulging in a grande frozen mocha just because I can't take that $5 with me anyway.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, baby that knee for a while. It deserves it.
LOL! Oh my gosh, your dentist/pap smear line cracked me up! Probably though, if you've just started running recently, your body needs to get used to it. After a while your muscles won't cramp up like that. Then again, if the world ends tomorrow, we won't have to worry about getting into shape!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of bad knees. Just a suggestion, do water aerobics in your pool, or find a class at the Y. Mine is at the Boys and Girls club. I haven't lost weight, but I'm clean as a whistle.
ReplyDeleteOn the 21st? Depending on the time of day, I could be in my jammies if the end comes before noon, or if it's during SNL I'll be scarfing some ice cream. What a way to go, huh?
If Saturday lasts long enough, I'll have omelets for brunch with my Beautiful Bride, and then I'll work in the yard. We usually make a run to the recycling center on Saturday afternoons, but I'm not sure if that will be necessary if the world is ending -- we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have no more problems with pain in your knee. Don't overdo the treadmill stuff.
I am planning on going on a major shopping spree. I might not be able to use what I buy, but at least I will have the joy of buying it. And then Monday, I will be returning everything...I better keep the receipts!
ReplyDeletegiiiiirl? what you doin in the produce section goin all limp? eat you a banana or something. no more cramping. and drink some water. quit looking at other men too. you got a looker at home. a cute one. lol
ReplyDeleteas for the end of the world? it is written that no one knows the day or the hour, my dear...no worries. go and do what you want. why do people have to make such a case over it? geesh...and when it does happen, what does it matter what you are doing? it will happen in a flash, you won't know what hit you, won't have time to grab anything or save anything. i know where my destination is, do you?
I'm afraid if my house isn't clean, Jesus won't have me!
ReplyDeleteSo guess what I'll be doing up until the last minute?
See you on the other side. You'll be there, right? m.
I'm going to be getting my Hoff on.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not being raptured, so I think I'll just stick my plans for taking prom photos!
ReplyDeleteI plan to be outside in the sun, and then inside, watching the Preakness Stakes! I hope your knee gets better. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf you really hate it then find another activity. Otherwise (sorry) you are doomed to failure. I just love "geek walking" and found it's the only thing I will stick with. For my husband, it's his fancy dancy computerized recumbent exercise bike.
ReplyDeleteNo need to try anything just yet until we see where we find ourselves come Sunday.
I'm not sure, but I think they sell chocolate ice cream all by itself. Might want to consider that.
Gosh--I'm not ready to die. You????? Holy Cow--As a Christian, it's embarrassing to hear that other Christians believe this... Only GOD knows when the world will end... Geeshhhhh...
ReplyDeleteSorry about your pain... Hope you are okay now... BUT--I hate to tell you this, Little One.. You are NOT getting old. I KNOW.. ha
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
OMG I really needed to laugh! I hope to be thoroughly enjoying myself whent he world ends tomorrow...but isn't it already tomorrow in Australia? What part of the International Date line are we using?
ReplyDeleteI'll be cleaning, painting and studying and getting the living room ready for new carpet in our apartment. I hope your knee feels better. Love the photo of the lady.
ReplyDeleteThose mysterious, stabbing bodily pains are, well, a pain!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they are and why they happen??
Glad you're ok!
The Australians celebrated the end of the world today, eh? :-D
Bummer on the knee - - hope the knee isn't planning on going out on you!
ReplyDeleteThe end of the world predictor did not read his Bible well because it says that even Jesus doesn't know the time. Only HIS Father does.
My plans are to drive an hour to visit my married daughter and see her gardens in person rather than just on her blog.
'A pap smear from the dentist', HAHAHAH! I seriously laughed and laughed over that one. I can't honestly think of anything worse! Although jogging on the treadmill would be right up there!
ReplyDeleteUm yeah, I'm just catching on to this world ending business tomorrow. I've got a lot to do!
i am glad you didnt get hurt, and you are lucky i wasnt there when you fell cuz i woulda pissed me self laughing whilst trying to help you get back up!!! lucy and ethyl destroy publix!!! clean up in aisle 7, please...
ReplyDeletei also posted about the raapture on my blog, arent we of the same mindset, tho? lmao..
does the pain in your knee feel muscular? if so, you might be low in potassium, and/or magnesium. low levels of these can cause charlie horses..
any hoo, if we rapture this weekend, i'll look for ya in the next world, i'll just look for the boxers and i know i'll find you!
I sure hope you don't become treadkill!! Be careful.
ReplyDeleteIt's the 21st in Australia already. I wish that goofy man didn't predict that. He apparently missed reading the part in the Bible where it says no one knows the day or time. Sheesh. I'm going to Montana to an Amish school austion with my neighbors. I hope to remember my camera and get a few shots!
ha, ha, ha, you crack me up! "a bee bee gun, a poison dart or taser"? you funny!
ReplyDeleteand i'm ready for the zombie hoards, lol
Exactly why I don't exercise! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm home cleaning my house. Wouldn't that be a bitch if the world ended and I was vaccuming?
I'm kind of annoyed today. I didn't clean yesterday, just in case...really, why bother? But now I have to do it today. And sneak and read a few blogs between loads of laundry and toilet scrubbing. I hope your knee is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteyou gotta be careful in publix! but you wouldn't have been the first to fall there... i saw a lady fall into a display once- and then eric & his other cop buddy ran to help her, which was nice since she was then unconscious. and laura fainted there once... a nice fireman was there to help her... sounds like falling in publix would be better than falling on the treadmill at home. there you might have to just rely on the cats to help you- eek!
ReplyDeleteThe pap smear/dentist about did me in!
ReplyDeleteI have a crazy shooting pain in my knee - have you tried glucosamine? It helps a lot with joints as you're exercising. Also, if you really out-do yourself and want to avoid the muscle cramps the next day, drink protein (chocolate milk will work, too) within 30 minutes after the workout. It's like a miracle - no muscle cramps! Where was this information 20 years ago!!??
Love Love Love the naughty lady, toO!
