PM - 5 in the evening. kneeshin felt sore, i'm thinking it's from something unrelated though. guess we'll see. 

sotd: viral evolution - guy scornik, zab scornik. i wonder if they're related

in the interest of avoiding sounding passive-aggressive, i'll try to keep this post short. i got about 10 steps into a run and stopped because of what i mentioned yesterday. it's not the same thing as what gave me grief most of 2020 so far and i'm hoping a triple-shot of time with an icy-hot and ibuprofen to chase will do the trick for it, i guess we'll see. i'd say a run tomorrow is off the table though

sotd: the mortician's flame - acid bath. a song to scratch that underground sludge-metal itch we all get from time to time, with lyrics vile enough i'm probably on a watchlist just for posting it here

if the leg was 90% yesterday it's (at least) 99% today, but with two shifts this weekend i'd hate to reaggravate it and spend two days all on my feet and make it worse. i've learned my lesson! if i feel good enough after work tomorrow to run then i should be 100%, if not we'll play it by ear.

sotd: been down so long - the doors

i ran a mile after work, someone cancelled on sunday so i got stuck with a double shift so didn’t feel like testing my luck when the shin was almost immediately sore, not as bad as before though. was really mad and probably would have posted a rant about how karma isn’t real, etc. but after some consulting with dr. google i diagnosed it as shin splints, believe it or not despite 10 years in the game i’ve never gotten shin splints before. did some stretches recommended for that and felt much better

also a mini-rant, yesterday the PCA that cancelled, instead of calling in sick(which she does all the time, you’d think a hospital would be the last place a hypochondriac would work) she comes in and hands the charge nurse a form saying she’s being tested for COVID. i’d bet my fertility she’s just getting tested as a reason to not work the shift, but either way why would you come into the workplace if you’re claiming you might have the coronabug, especially if it’s a hospital floor specializing in long-term care, meaning most of the patients are elderly?! also while i’m just blabbering on i’ve started calling my main chick “boob” as a term of endearment and i think it’s the funniest thing ever because much like my co-workers i’m a moron
