The best laid plans of mice and men!

I had this amazing vacation planned. I was going to spend my birthday exploring the many civil rights museums/memorials/etc…  in Mississippi and Alabama. Trust me, I had an agenda that could have filled two weeks. But I was going to play in by ear and make omissions as needed on the road.

Well, instead  of playing it by ear, I’m playing by groin. That takes some explanation. I twisted just right while doing a very common middle of the night bathroom run Sunday night. I sprained my groin muscle. I dropped to the floor and had to crawl the rest of the way to the john on my hands and knees. I am still quite sore.  I did go upstairs today to water the plants. Going up wasn’t bad. Coming down was; I had to sit on my ass and slide down!

So, instead of marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, I will be hobbling around the house using a cane. My movement will be abbreviated for a while!
