It’s Every Damn Day with These Toenails, Man

There’s a blog title for ya.

Anyway, now a THIRD toe on my left foot has decided that toenails are out of fashion and is trying to get rid of his.

There’s a lot of blood in my sock, haha.

The funny thing is that all the toes on my right foot are ABSOLUTELY FINE. But there must be something about the way I walk/run that just brutalizes the toes on my left foot.

I’m guessing I still treat my whole right leg with more caution than the left, since my right knee was the one I hurt back in 2017.

But who knows.

Anyway, they can do what they want; I’m not stopping.

Adventures in Calgary

Today Nate and I adventured to a new part of the city on our walk and I remembered that I’m really bad at re-applying sunscreen to the backs of my hands after I wash all the sunscreen off the fronts of my hands (‘cause I hate the way it feels).

That is comically horrible.

I have to teach on Monday, which means this weird-ass sunburn is going to show up over the projector. Awesome.

‘Sokay, it’ll tan out in a few days and then I’ll be left with a weird dark patch of skin on the back of my otherwise pale hand…which is…even more attractive…

But anyway, we did almost 18 miles and it was great. Walking in 70-degree weather in the sun is way better than walking in the cold, blowing snow (which is what we were doing last weekend, haha).

GUESS WHO FELL DOWN THE STAIRS

(It was me.)

It wasn’t a full flight of stairs, but they were metal and icy and pretty damn painful to tumble down. Whacked my butt, arm, and side pretty good. Upshot: I didn’t break my iPod! Or, y’know, any bones.

That’s what I get for trying to take a shortcut.

(Sorry, there’s not a lot going on right now.)

Edit: well that’s probably the biggest bruise I’ve ever had. My butt looks like it got hit by a comet.
