Apparently, I am supposed to try and avoid getting hurt or killed in accidents for the next 10 days…

Yesterday, God bless her, Lori was trying her hand at a new Thai dish (it turned out great!) when, suddenly, I heard a yelp from the kithen. I looked up to see a grease fire had ignited in her wok. YIKES!

I bolted toward the kitchen in what may have been my most intense few seconds of speedwork ever and smothered the fire (three foot flames!) with a lid. No harm was done.

Today, in the last three minutes of my easy, 45 minute run, I stubbed my toe and fell down onto the pavement while crossing a sidewalk curb. I really jarred my back but I think it is alright.

Nine days of, I imagine, increasing insanity to come.

Actually, you’re supposed to try and avoid getting hurt or killed in accidents even after the 10 days!

But let’s concentrate on those 10 days first, as a start.

Well done on keeping a cool head with the fire. You might get through this after all.
