BAD
I am taking a little break from the kitchen as i just nearly broke my ankle in a bike accident. I was riding my bike home from the grocery store (of all places) and a car door opened right into the side of me. One of my biggest fears since we have moved to Cambirdge and started biking everywhere was running into a car door. I have had a few close calls, but this one was perfectly timed so there was no avoiding it. It was flung open into my body and knocked me into the street. I was laying on the yellow line. Thank heavens there was no oncoming traffic.
So now my right ankle is very swollen and has two punctures from my chain ring. I pray that I will be back to running on it in a week or two… the marathon that I have been training for all summer is in 3.
GOOD
We won artwork at the MIT student art loan! We got a print of Yoshitomo Nara’s ‘In the Floating World Gold Fish’ (#37/50) to keep in our apartment for a year. It retails around $3,880 so hopefully we don’t mess it up!
