My inability to go two months without injuring myself in some ridiculous way

[petronia]

Came home from Igloofest in the small hours of Saturday, emptied out the pockets of my coat, dropped a twoonie coin on the floor, lunged to grab it before it rolled under the oven, and somehow slipped and totally destroyed my left little toe.

I don't suppose anyone in your family has a larger pair of boots you can borrow? Your sister and your mom probably have smaller feet, right?

I self-diagnosed as either a stress fracture or plantar fasciitis, and since the cure for the first is to stay off the foot and I didn't want to do that I decided to decide it was the second. And I decided that the way to deal with that was to ignore it and keep walking. So everything was fine until a week ago Saturday when the pain got much more and I found myself limping a lot. So I more or less stayed off it for a week, and now... it's just the same. So I'm back to my original mode of, "I will live my life as if
