I got run over by a Pride Victory scooter today. (yes. Really...and those things move fast and cant be stopped easily from the front like the scooters that WalMart provides. I can usually stop those with a hand and a little bit of pressure when I'm about to be run over by someone who's easily distracted by shiny things) This was like getting hit by a Mini Cooper or a golf cart.

My neck is back to being in pain, and my arms, shoulders and hands hurt, and I think I turned my ankle and both knees just a little bit. (glancing blow...I got spun around after I put my hands out to try to protect my knees from getting smashed by the front of the scooter)

Learned one thing, I now know why my mom isnt going to ever be allowed to drive a car again. (she's got some seriously baaaad judgement skills) I also know not to stand in front of her when she's on the scooter (especially when she's mad and acting a bit pre-Alzheimer-ish). Maybe I shouldnt stand directly behind her either?

The adrenaline rush and being a bit...ticked after that, and I just locked myself in my room and took a Flexeril and took a 2hr nap instead of going to exercise. I was so mad and not fit to be around people that I would have ticked off a lot of people down at the gym.

I wont be doing any exercise till after Christmas because we're about to get another huge blizzard (we've got freezing drizzle putting a nice icy patina on everything right now...it'll be ice rain by morning) Blizzard isnt supposed to be over till saturday morning.

Only exercise I'll be getting will be climbing up and down the stairs here at home when I really bored. (I've already done all my laundry and put it away...I'm going to be really bored later)

Laundry can be considered exercise, cant it?
