funny story...

    So its been a few weeks since I actually wrote something, so I have a funny story for you.  What happens when a chin meets the front fender of a Honda Civic?  Four stitches and a head ache.  That’s right kiddies I was working on my brakes when I decided that it would be a good idea to accidentally hit my chin on the fender after I bounced the back of my head off the underside of the hood.  Yea, it was funny at the time and it did hurt my head a bit but I chose to press on with my work without even a worry about my chin.  Well until I went to wipe the sweat off of it and realized, no that’s not sweat dripping from my chin but blood.  Despite the blood dripping out and the stinging from the sweat seeping into the large gaping wound on my hair (I have a beard if you didn’t know) and grease covered chin, I pushed on with my brakes.  2 hours, 4 brake pads, an oil change, and a shower later I hitched a ride with my dad to the nearest emergency room.  As I told the story to four different people my dad just chuckled in the corner.  The lady came in to sew me up and before she started asked me to lay nice and still, then proceeded to ask me questions while she was doing the stitching.  And that was the second time I had someone tell me to lay still and then asked me questions that Saturday.  The first being my visit to the dentist earlier for my 8 year check up.  Yes eight years since my last visit to the tooth doctor and not one single cavity.  Thanks for the cleaning doc, see you in eight more.
    As for my challenge I talked about two weeks ago, tracking my eating on live strong.com, I lost 2lbs.  And according to my first grade math that’s a pound a week.  I met my goal.  As for this weeks challenge, I tackle coffee, which is something I never drink.  I will attempt to drink a cup o’ Joe a day,  not really for any health benefits but just to see what happens, if anything.  However, a WebMD article states;
“A growing body of research shows that coffee drinkers, compared to nondrinkers, are: less likely to have type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s, and dementia, also, have fewer cases of cancers, hearth rhythm problems, and strokes.”
So bottoms up with that bitter nectar, I guess. That’s it for this week and until next time, swing high, swing low, but always keep your eye on the ball.
