A week of injury recovery

What a week for my body.  

Last weekend when I was doing that yard work and attacked the orange tree, it turns out that not only did I get finger stuck with a thorn and part of it remained in it - it turns out that I also scratched the heck out of my other arm and didn't realize it!  I only figured it out when I discovered blood on my clothes and detective work revealed it was coming from my arm!  After a few days of slight infection and then all was well.

Thursday night I had dinner and drinks outside at the Rath alfresco.  This is the casual summer dining area for the Caltech Faculty Club - the Athenaeum, https://www.athenaeumcaltech.com/.  Unfortunately for me, I am food for misquitos.  Somehow they always find the one area that is exposed that I am not aware of, and I end up paying the price for it.  Boy oh boy - they found behind my ankle right above the shoe line.  On Friday (my day off) I decided to go for my walk in the morning and I proceeded to take of the head of the bite and now my ankle is red and hot and swollen!  

I am relaxing most of today - my body is worn down!
