Hello, hello everybody. I'm Lexi Lombard, your host of the Alexi podcast. Normally I record in the studio. This is a home edition.

All right, I'm a little injured.

All right, I rock climb.

It's a pastime, it's a hobby, it's a physical challenge that I love.

Been doing it for a little less than a year now and it was

only a matter of time for me to have an injury from it. I have a pretty bad angle right now. I'm very much an

underreactor. I've learned that. I don't know what sort of coping mechanism

that is, but I was handling it quietly

no one online knows that I have a pretty severely sprained ankle I hate getting

attention for injuries or for physical pain.

I'm like, don't know this about me, like leave me alone.

But I was climbing an arch, so you go up, you climb over, and you climb down. And when you go up climb over and you climb down

and when you're up at the top you're climbing monkey bar style

and I had to get to the other side so I swung my body

so hard with my brute force and I flung my body against a wall

smacked it and then fell on my side so it wasn't like I landed and broke my ankle. I just smacked my leg, my arm, my side against a wall so hard and then just toppled over.

I've sent a couple photos to my loved ones just to keep them updated and they're

always more triggered by it than I am they're like oh I didn't realize it was that bad

like that's disgusting so I've then home and it's my driving foot so there is no way that I could do an hour drive.

Certainly not.

That being said, I'm going on a brand trip this weekend to Martha's Vineyard. I leave tomorrow.

By the time you're listening to it, I'll either be on the plane or be there.
