I'VE FALLEN and I CAN'T GET UP!
I need a big ol chunk of cheese with this "WHINE"!!
Yesterday afternoon I stopped by my mom's Assisted Living Facility to see how she was doing after they called to tell me she'd taken a fall . . .
Walking across the parking lot, I stepped over an unusually large speed bump - almost! I crashed down on both knees. By the time I got to her apartment my right knee was killing me.
Long story short, I ended up in Northside Hospital ER. Nothing broken, but my right knee looks like a black/blue/purple grapefruit is growing on it! And I have to wear a really ugly & uncomfortable foam knee splint that goes from my ankle halfway up my thigh.
When I finally got back to our apartment, I was faced with the fact that I live on the THIRD floor - no elevator, of course.
*whining loudly* Now where's my cheese?

** EARTH DAY ** April 22, 2007
Dalian, China:
Fast-growing China, shown here during a prolonged heat wave last year, is opening about one coal plant every day this year. Along with the U.S., China is one of the world's leading contributors to the greenhouse gases believed to be largely responsible for the increase in the Earth's temperature.
About Earth Day Network:
Founded by the organizers of the first Earth Day in 1970, Earth Day Network (EDN) promotes environmental citizenship and year round progressive action worldwide. Earth Day Network is a driving force steering environmental awareness around the world. Through Earth Day Network, activists connect, interact, and impact their communities, and create positive change in local, national, and global policies. EDN's international network reaches over 15,000 organizations in 174 countries, while the domestic program keeps over 5,000 groups and over 100,000 educators coordinating millions of community development and environmental protection activities throughout the year.

More than a half billion people participate in our campaigns every year.
