Groan

They are sending us back to the range today. Unfortunately the range does not start until 1030. meaning we shall most likely be there until about 7, if not later. It was 107 yesterday, and supposed to be just as hot today. This time I am bringing more water, a book to read, and sunblock.
I just hope we move faster than yesterday. I hate being all sweaty and stinky, but at least I'm with a bunch of other people who are all sweaty and stinky.

Whoops, there she goes!

Yesterday, when I was getting out of the troop carrier, I caught my foot on the lip between the tailgait and the floor the carrier. I think I can honestly say that it was one of my more spectacular nose-dives.
Now, I'm the kind of person who trips on air on a fairly regular basis, so I didn't think anything of it. I just brushed myself off, laughed at the image I must have made, and went about business as usual.
After we got back from the range today, though, I mentioned that my knee was hurting, and in all honesty I couldn't think why, because it wasn't the normal arthritis pain. My sgt looked at me kind or worried and asked, "Because of the fall yesterday? It looked like it really hurt."
And I'm thinking, Oh, yeah, the fall!
Doh!
Now my knee, on closer inspection, has turned an intersting shade of brown and blue. Really, I don't know how I've managed to survive this long without a broken bone. My foot doesn't really count, as it was only cracked. :)
Anyway, I think I just lost every cool point I ever accumulated after that, lol! Not like I had many to begin with, though. As I said, I frequenly trip over anything and everything, including thin air.
