i injured my knee, i guess at the tai chi workshop (i *knew* my alignment was off doing danyus; YEESH). by thursday evening when i went to tai chi class, i made it through, but that evening i noticed it was swelling up. friday the swelling was enough to make me slow down. saturday i made a comfrey poultice and put that on it, and the swelling has definitely decreased (YAY for herbal remedies!). i'm kicking myself though because i really wanted to row the past couple days and i think it's best with this injury to rest a little... still up and about all day, but not exercising heavily.

quiet weekend around here; beautiful blue sky right now - there's a sailboat race on (it's a long race; about 30 hrs?), and there was a cycling race (95 kms) this morning along the main road - the kids & i walked up and they rang their cowbells at the passing cyclists at the base of the biggest hill on the route (which made a few of the cyclists laugh with amusement).

the kids have been listening to little house on the prairie on audiobook during car rides, and at the moment are watching a documentary on kangaroos.

that's about it. :)
