Poor Me

I was running to get the phone today and smacked my baby toe on the leg of our ottoman. Now it's all swollen and bruised and painful.

I think I broke it, dang it.

That means --

• No ballet today
• A lot of slow limping around the house after toddlers
• I'm managing a lot of anger at myself for being so clumsy

My mother-in-law just came to the rescue with medical tape so I could wrap it up. It actually hurts to have the tape on. I'm kind of a wimp, I guess.

I wonder if this will give me a reason not to have to cook dinner or perform any household chores. Maybe I can just sit in bed with my leg elevated and work on my WiP edits.

Ha! I'll keep dreaming.

Now off to find the ibuprofen. If that doesn't work, I'll try intensive chocolate therapy.

Is anyone else currently suffering from stupidly-acquired, painful injuries? (I hope not!)
