Injured by clutter, taking out the trash

by Duf Anything and Everything

My knees have been doing quite well for several months even with a regular running program, 300’s, 275 pound dead lifts and more.  Well the string of good fortune came to an end this week.  My knees don’t feel real good right now although I don’t think it is anything a few days of rest won’t correct.  The funny thing is the cause, clutter.

Well actually clutter is indirectly responsible, teamed up with laziness.  Early this week I was having problems with my home server so I went into the hobby room to work on it.  I knew I had to be in front of the screen for a little while so I looked over to Ali’s area for the small office chair we have in the room.  Well that chair had become the home for a box of junk so instead of going over, taking the box off the chair and wheeling the chair over I decided to just get down on my knees in front of the server.

Well putting pressure on my knee caps for any length of time is a prescription for trouble.  I might have been on my knees for a total of 5-10 minutes but that was all it took to aggravate them.  Ever since my kneeling session my knees have felt sore.  Lesson learned, less clutter and move the damn box.

I read the Eagles have been busy cutting/trading  players, mostly ones that were worthless.  Some of the names that are gone include Kevin Curtis, Darren Howard, Reggie Brown and Sean Andrews.  Besides Curtis, I am fine with the Eagles parting ways with pretty much all of these players, especially Sean Lazy Big Baby Andrews.  The guy had tons of physical talent, too bad he didn’t have the work ethic to match it.  The way he has strung the team along the past two years made me sick.  So long Sean, maybe you can find another team to whore some money from, ya bum.

I have a bunch of things I’d like to get done this weekend, as usual.  Ali’s new road bike is supposed to show up today.  It’s the same model as what I have which is low end on the road bike scale but more than adequate for beginner cyclists such as ourselves.  I’m sure I will be assembling it tonight for her.
