This week has been nothing short of shitty. First off, I end up getting a cold again (I usually only get sick once a year, but this year, thanks to my brother, I got sick in September during midterms and now I’ve caught something again). It was a sore throat that was incredibly irritating for a couple days, then a couple days of the normal cold symptoms. Luckily it was very mild so I’m nearly over it. Then Tuesday morning I think I performed a winning act for klutz of the year. Izumi was up to something (she had been bad all morning, getting into things, knocking stuff over, etc.) and so I got up to see what she was doing. I ended up jamming my toe into the wall. This isn’t really all too strange for me. About a month ago I ended running straight into a wall in the apartment (I don’t remember if I wrote about that or not), and banging feet on walls/doors/furniture is nothing strange for me. However, this hurt much more than usual. I was limping around the apartment until I had to go to lab, which luckily was the only class I had that day. That was painful, because I had to wear close toe shoes. When I got back and took my shoes off I noticed that the painful little toe now resembled a large, swollen, purple something. It was badly bruised, twice the size of my other little toe, and still incredibly painful. I had to wrap it for a few days, but it’s now returned to normal size, and is back to normal color with the exception of some bruising still on the inside (which means I hit the inside of my little toe on the wall, which really makes no sense). But it continues!
