Joe & my toe August 20, 2004 ~ 8:30 pm

Here be the black cat what almost broke my toe a week ago. How’d he do that? I came home and took my shoes off, as usual. Joe was ecstatic that I was home and was yowling to bitch me out for leaving him with only Jesse for company all day, as usual. Joe was rubbing against everything in sight in a frenzy of happiness, as usual. The box fan was on the floor, blowing to keep the apartment cool, as usual. Anyone else see a recipe for disaster here?
That’s right. Joe, in his “You’re home, yay!” ecstasies, rubbed against the box fan, tipping it over. The corner of the damn thing landed smack on my right baby toe, and I instantly started hopping up and down in pain. I could flex it, so it wasn’t broken, but it swelled up to twice its size and didn’t feel right. I iced it down and taped it to the next toe over, just in case, and two days later it was fine again. I tell you what, though…it’s a good thing I love that cat.
Oh, yeah, and the picture was taken after several attempts. Ever try to photograph an all black cat in an apartment with no natural lighting? Ya need a flash. Unfortunately, the flash kept making him blink. So I semi-covered the flash with my fingers, and the light going through my skin made the cool red color. Kinda like when you shine a flashlight through your fingers. Neat, huh?

Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind , comments closedI’m sitting here at my desk minding my own business, and suddenly I’m getting pegged by the occasional drop of water. Apparently my air conditioner doesn’t like me and has decided to vent its dissatisfaction by spitting on me.
No me likey.
Could be worse, I guess. Sloth has an earwig trapped in her keyboard. *shudder*
