Anyone Can Whistle

While not appearing wholly DISgruntled, he was still a long ways from being gruntled.

Ahhhh Pain.

i hurt all over. friggin sunburn, two days worth. makes sleeping an issue. if i sleep on my back, that's where the burn is. But, if i don't sleep on my back, i turn all around and chafe everything instead of just laying on it. and then i wake up and curse a bit and lie as still as possible.

also i had an issue with my bike last night. Granted, i wish i had seen it, i'm sure it looked positively aeronautic and stuff. . . . cartwheels, triple axles, aerial backflips, the whole works. Thankfully I disentangled from my bike before trying the aforementioned, it's way harder with the bicycle still attached, i would think.
End result: knee all buggered up,--bruised and abrased. [Abrasion, does that start as abrased? it should.] Also bruise from my handle bars in an awkward spot behind my other knee, and on my hip, and foot, and shoulder. Swell looking grass stains on my t-shirt. . .

So now i hurt, and i grumble. And i take cold showers and i put ice on my other wounds.

But i'm excessively glad that pain is transient, fleeting. I won't feel like this forever. Weird. Good thing, no doubt, not being able to remember pain. If so, i doubt that i'd ever have been born, and i assume the same thing for most of you. And i don't think that i'd ever want to wander into the child-bearing realm if I knew that the pain would never leave.
