From Tuesday:
Don't worry, it's not THAT bad, I just broke my toe... ouch! It all began yesterday morning when I was dressed and ready to go to work and get my headshot done in the afternoon. I had my fave pair of pants on and was putting in a load of laundry, when I felt something on my leg, I smashed it and it crunched inside of my pants in my hands, a huge nasty bug. I immediately pulled off my pants and could see the guts, shell, and multiple legs inside. Ewww! I threw them in the wash, shook it off, and after putting on another pair of pants, left for work.
On my way, the photographer's assistant called to cancel the appointment. Roy (the photographer) was out of town on a family emergency, and wasn't sure when he'd be back. The day went well at Sidwell Friends, and they want me to begin substituting next week!
I had an hour and a half at home between work and rehearsal. I was watching the cast of "DREAMGIRLS" on Oprah w/ Calvin, my housemate, when I jumped up to get my tea that was whistling in the kitchen... On the way, I tripped on the coffee table, and over my bag, right on my chest. My arms didn't pull out in time. I jumped back up and shook it off. My knee hurt, and yea, I definitely stubbed my toe, but shook it off, went to rehearsal. By the end of the night, my toe was still bothering me, and my other housemate, Kendra said the same thing had happened to her awhile ago. She had broke hers, it was swollen and black and blue (like mine). She works for the athletic department at GWU, and they said all they will do at the emergency room is take an x-ray and tell you it's broken, then they'll tape it up. Since the toes are so small, they can't put a cast or splint on it. So ICE and TAPE wil be the solution. I took the day off, so that I'll be able to get through our preview of "Juanita the Walrus" this evening. Life has been so great lately, so I can hardly let something like this bother me. God is just telling me it's about time for a day off, slow down for a second . I can't remember the last time I've slept in, read a book, or watched a movie. I intend to do at least one of these today!
And on top of all that, our heat is not working in the 30-45 temps outside... Brr! At least I'm here to wait for the repairman~
Take care of your toes!
