No Work Today

I have today off from work. That's fun. It's my first legitimate day off since moving to Cleveland. I was out a couple of days about a month ago, but I was sick so that doesn't really count.

Anyway, today I got to sleep a little late, am doing some laundry and have a run planned. All leisurely and work free. Tonight I will be going to see my first baseball game of the year. The Tigers are in town to see if they can stop sucking long enough to beat the Indians. I can't really predict the outcome of the game itself, but I can predict that I will have at least one hot dog and two beers. At least. Take that to the bank.

In other news, I can barely move my right arm. I'm really trying to not be a pansy about this, but it's pretty banged up. Why? Well because I took a tumble off my skateboard. Yes, I'm riding around on a skateboard at age 34. And no, I'm not very good, so it's not like I'm all Tony Hawk or something. Anyway, I was cruising along and took a turn to get into a friend's driveway and there's a bit of a lip. I thought I could roll over it with the right amount of speed and the proper weight distribution. No luck. I hit the lip, the board stopped and I went down. Hands hit pavement a bit, but the bulk of my weight went on my right shoulder. I rolled with the fall, but apparently not quick enough. The shoulder and arm look fine. No bruising or scrapes, but it does not feel fine at all. I can't lift anything. Even putting on my shirt and pants this morning was a chore. I can't pick up this keyboard I am typing on even. As a matter of fact, it hurts to type unless my forearm is leaning on something. My shoulder can't support the weight of my own arm. I'm no doctor, but this doesn't seem good. We'll see how the rest of the day/early tomorrow goes. If no improvement, I may have to suck it up and hit the doctor.

The best part is that I have signed up for a summer rowing league and I'm supposed to be rowing on Saturday morning. That's probably not going to go so well unless Mr. Miayagi comes over and does that hand rubbing, fixit thing to me.
