annathepiperNo matter how much of a Monday it might feel.
+0: But first off, greetings to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
acestatic, who I see has wandered by my journal. Hiya!
-1: It turned out that I had a couple of negative repercussions from the bike ride--late last night after I'd gone to bed, my arms started really hurting. I figure this must have been because I was hanging onto the handlebars of the bike too tightly, or something. This in turn is a holdover from my 2003 bike accident, I think, being generally paranoid about making damn sure both hands are on the handlebars at all times and that I am in fact braking with both hands rather than one.
Anyway, I wound up having to take a couple of ibuprofen and to break out the Tiger Balm just to get to sleep. That helped. My arms seem to be okay this morning, so I guess it was just temporary strain of the muscles of my forearms or something. I am nevertheless still feeling the exertion all over, and am quite logey. It's going to be a long day!
-2: In other news, Dara and I had been considering going up to Vancouver yesterday to take care of a couple of errands we want to do in B.C. and maybe to say hi to Vancouver friends. It didn't work out for assorted reasons. And it turns out that this is a good thing, since a) it'll give me more time to get in my passport renewal paperwork (I have a certified copy of my birth certificate now, but I'll feel comfier crossing the border with a passport), and b) there was a fatal accident on I-5 yesterday afternoon. :(
+/-3: What else... I've heard from my brother and from my sisterwildshadowstar that our grandmother is in the hospital again. Apparently this time it's for removal of part of her colon. I'm told she's doing fairly well, though I fret some nevertheless. Grandma's been having to get a lot of medical attention lately; I just hope that this all winds up being good and helps fix a lot of stuff that old age and inattention to her own health has wrought, rather than being too little too late.
+4: I am deeply, deeply amused that Russell Crowe and Alan Doyle not only have made an album together, they've seemed to have become best buds. Alan's been showing up at things Russell's been doing and showing up in pics from these events, like the premiere of Cinderella Man in L.A.--and Russell showing up at the Indy 500.spazzkat has informed me that they are TOTALLY a couple, which makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. Perhaps they will be picking out the china patterns soon. ;)

Re: Do Not Cross The Canadian Border Without A Passport!
Date: 2005-05-31 09:33 pm (UTC)The web pages I consulted claimed that a photo ID and a certified birth certificate were adequate for U.S. citizens, but I didn't really want to take a chance on it. Thanks for chiming in, though!
