I broke my pinkie toe (or, it seems and feels broken anyway) on... the dog last night! She is 100% fine.

Bringing her in from a walk, she somehow planted her tough, little, back paw in a way that ended up doing something to me as I walked past her, and caught it on her paw, and I'll be damned if MY own pinkie paw isn't black and blue and screaming every time I move it. It' been waking me up from time to time.

She is, of course, just fine, no limp or favoring of her other paw, sleeping like a baby (the kind who sleep through the night) and barely even took notice of my jam.

Broke my pinkie on a tiny, little dog paw. That's a new one.

A thousand thank-yous to the universe that I didn't fall or anything, though, TBH.

Punishingly Intricate

Ow, Jen! My arms are covered in fading bruises from my sister-in-law’s young lab greeting me enthusiastically with a big grin that exposed all her hard teeth.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jen, that sounds miserable. Maybe buddy tape it to the next toe? I think that’s all you can do for a broken toe.

Gave notice yesterday, went super great. Bosses not surprised, happy for me, a little annoyed I didn’t use them for a reference.

I am taking today off because I need a total rest day. The trip was great but pretty busy and emotionally exhausting and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I get to sleep today whenever I feel like it, and do whatever floats my boat. I hereby proclaim.

Good plan!

I'm getting flashbacks to meara's dog tripping related injuries.

Shir is coming over today! I'm putting her to work on the Memorial immediately.

Thrive to spite them

Get some sleep smonster.

Jen a broke pinkie sucks. I fracture or broke mine once and it hurt so much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Congratulations Smonster! So happy for you.

Boo on broken toes.

I’d rather watch animal videos all day instead of work. I overslept this morning and I still haven’t caught up brainwise.

I echo Steph in excitement for you, smonster. Glad the resignaning went well.

Root canal that was supposed to happen yesterday morning is happening this afternoon instead (endo wanted to confer w/ dentist first), so that's fun. Eh, it has to be done. Next come braces, then, finally, implants. After that I'm getting some cosmetic shit done as my reward for all this structural work. I had better be able to hold on to these toofs for a good couple of decades after all this, just saying.

Thank you for the toe empathy. It feels better this morning though it looks worse. I'll take it.

Yay for Shir visit!

Oh, also, I have a (being treated) UTI! What the heck? I guess sometimes it really does come in threes.

Ditto, except my sleep was all choppy. I am tired and stupid.
