Feeling like a kid again.

I pulled a muscle in my calf this afternoon. Unfortunately it wasn't from falling off one of those trendy (and dangerous) new hoverboards. I hopped up in enthusiasm over hearing about two nice people getting engaged and came down awkwardly. It's a little better now, but I'm still hobbling. During the pain and the limping this afternoon, it occurred to me that I hadn't pulled a muscle like this since before I was in high school. if it won't happen again for another 50 plus years, I'm probably okay. ;o)

I'm consoling myself with hot chocolate this evening. I use a mug larger than the recipe my hot chocolate mix calls for. To make up for the extra liquid I add a spoon of mint-chocolate mix, just enough to make it tasty without making it overly minty. I ran out of the mint-chocolate mix a couple weeks ago. Hadn't seen it in a can in the store for ages, but it was back on the shelf in time for Christmas and just in time for me.

Hope everyone feels like hopping for joy this holiday season, but does it more safely than I did.
