Common bonds....

What do these 3 things have in common? Donny Osmond's socks, Grape soda, my middle toe.......

Did you guess "things that are purple"? If you did, pat yourself on the back...I'll be in the corner, pouting.

I am not a happy girl. I sprained or broke my toe early Sunday morning. I got to the last step on the stairway and turned like I always do and whammo....the arch of my foot slid over the edge of the tread and caught my toe. My foot and four other toes landed flat on the carpet, but the middle-guy didn't react quickly enough...he stayed in a tucked position. I really didn't mean to say all those swear words on a Sunday morning, but that hurt!

If this had happened twenty plus years ago, I would have been glad to have an excuse to get out of gym or some other physical activity. However, I was supposed to hike today [Monday] and it looks like I'll have to wait at least a week for the poor toe to return to its normal color and size. I put on my socks and hiking boots to see what it felt like...it wasn't awful, but I never would have made the 11 miles. So, I will continue to ice and elevate. And pout.
