Note to self

when someone asks you to walk at break, listen to the lazy part of your brain say no because the sensible part of your brain thinks it is ok to walk a lap around the conrete track in dress shoes... which in turn... causes blisters the size of nickels on my feet... what was I thinking... oh well. I am now stuck in the bed - missing hip hop and feeling sorry for myself. I am sure tomorrow will be a better day.
