I almost had a disaster happen. In the last few weeks, I've been cat-sitting for friends but made it a point to walk for 30 minutes each day at the crack of dawn. Everything was going swimmingly until I tripped on a dried cone or something and fell to the ground. Miraculously, I only scraped my elbow a little.

Though it was still overcast, the event was … [Read more...]
