What did you accomplish today?

RockOn · 05-03-2011, 11:42 AM

I killed my toe this morning.

I was like five minutes away from walking out the door for work. I had left my large (very heavy and keyword = unbudgible) toolbox out because I had done some little fix-it things around inside the house early this morning. (tightened doorknob on 2nd bedroom, etc.) I was headed to get my shoes and did not step high enough over the toolbox with my left foot. Yikes, I was immediately rolling around on the floor in my boxers, holding my foot, daring not to look at it because I was totally convinced I had knocked my toe completely off. Special words were spewing out of my mouth, some I did not realize I knew until then ... some were coined special words that I made up on the fly. The dogs immediately tried to rally around me to see if they could help. All I could do between rolling on the floor and continuing with my special words was tell Kelly and Kevin to please get back ... and don't run off with my missing toe.

limped into work thirty minutes late ...

got the Prince up and to school
got home as the Mr Attitude(our kitten grayson) comes sauntering around the corner of the house(he managed to find the one spot i didnt block from outside of fence and dug under it)
got his lil ass back in house and went around to fill in hole
grabbed a heavier than it looked paver and propped it against fence
gave him a stern talking too as he laid there looking at me all pissy
went back to bed for a bit after taking a pain pill
got up and dressed
went to get the Prince from school
went and got our passports ordered for the Bahamas trip in June
grabbed a cheesesteak on way home
getting ready to take the Prince to get a haircut

(that damn Prince sure runs me to death)

I finally accomplished sucking up enough guts to look ... to see if I still had that toe. It is there. It is purple ... all over, in fact. Hurts like a son of a bitch!

Scootie, I see where you were the one who had ... just had to post the "LOL" when you repped me! All along, I suspected it would be you to laugh!

Heh Heh! It is funny to me now. I wish I had a video of it to post. Pure slapstick ... my red checkety boxers would have added a nice touch had we been able to get the video. Kelly and Kevin's concerned little faces would have been priceless ... those two trying to stand over me, plus dodge all the rolling around.

Just before noon, I owned up to our secretary why I had to call and tell her I was going to be late. She got a bang out of it too. What is up with toe injuries being so funny??? When I was a child, I would laugh when Charlie (father) caught his little toe on the corner of the wall on his way to his bedroom. He did that often and e.v.e.r.y s.i.n.g.l.e t.i.m.e, I would laugh like hell.

Rockinonahigh · 05-03-2011, 09:56 PM

Today I finaly got to take my cpr class and am now waiting for my certifacation card to come in the mail,about 2 weeks they said.
Then I also had a two hour first day of disaster relife/first aid classes.
Then when I got home I put on a pot of chili for dinner tonight,its been a bit cool the last day or so.

I know, scootie ...it is very true ... and not just our parents but anyone.

I have had one of those days where just about everything has struck me in a funny way. I laughed to myself at myself all alone in my cubicle today at work about that toe incident. But I will tell you and all jokes aside ... when I was on the floor this morning, I thought I was going to f*cking well pass out from the pain.

Yes, I got the shoes on and that is because I wore a different pair than the original intended ones. The pair I wore are a little too big. I always wear thick socks with them - they feel like soft comfy house shoes. Just what I needed today!

It is good to laugh!

See you, Buddy!
