Oct/28/08my toe hurts
i broke my toe....again. i bet this is the third time in as many years that i have broken a toe. clearly, i have a problem.
i broke it about 3 weeks ago and can still not wear a normal shoe. nor can i take a walk or run after the rabbit when it escapes, or franny when she is bad etc., etc.
it is amazing how important those little toes are.
this time when i broke it, i actually had to go to the doctor. it was my little toe and it was sticking off sideways, kind of like a dew claw -- very attractive -- completely perpendicular to my foot, making closed shoes a thing of the past. the dr. had to put it back into place. i guess i could have done it myself, but i am not that brave.
i broke it on some weights that live on my bathroom floor. that would be the second toe i have broken on the very same set of weights. the really pathetic part is that the weights are merely decorative. i NEVER use them. i should just toss them, of course. but i keep hoping to be inspired,or at least guilted, by their presence in my bathroom. but i am not. and instead of making my arms sleek and firm (or less jiggly, at least) they mangle my toes.
oh well, that is what happens to the lazy and barefooted.
so, today's bit of wisdom is don't be lazy, and protect those toes, you're gonna need them.
