It's too early to say if my knees are up to anything serious, but thanks to edda's inspiration, I hopped on the treadmill and pounded out the first workout of the Couch to 5k plan. My really bad knee was sore, but never did the sharp OMG STOP IMMEDIATELY pain, so maybe I am on the mend. Drove back to the housesitting place w/ the ice pack on my knee, and it seems to be doing pretty well...so far. We'll see if I can move in the morning.

Found a bark scorpion in the tub, too. Sigh. I wrangled it into a big ziploc freezer bag (couldn't find any tupperware, and couldn't bring myself to get close enough to step on it - not after last year's sting). I think my little friend is destined for a trip to said freezer. Eugh. Hopefully this'll be my last encounter of the week.

Oh, and being the dorky shutterbug I am, I did get off a few snaps w/ the good camera before bagging it. More fodder for my creepy crawlies folder on flickr :)
