new blog and toe-skin

wow, i haven’t blogged for…. almost 2 years? at least not work related blogs. i noticed when more bad things happen, i tend to want to blog more. last week was a bad week, hence the urge to vent. this week was ok. i barely made it to the train M, T, and W. also i’ve been forced to wear sandals or uggs the past few days b/c of my monday injury and on top of that, it’s been RAINY this week! feet… cold… first of all, i had a blister, so i couldn’t wear normal shoes. and as i was sprinting to catch the train on monday, i somehow tripped on the escalator, kicking my big toe on the escalator stair. i looked down and saw a huge flap of toe-skin hanging out. by the time i awkwardly hobbled my way down to the train, i saw that a lot of blood was starting to fill up the space under the skin. i didn’t have any tissue and the blood was starting to overflow onto my shoe and concrete, so i ripped up some paper and started wiping away. not a good idea b/c paper is not very absorbent. duh. what really annoyed me was this dude who walked by and just stopped and stared for like 2 long seconds. wtf? if you’re going to stare at me, at least ask if i’m ok. otherwise, just move on! so anyways, i got on the train, got some proper wet paper towels to take care of the bleeding and sort of “placed” the skin back to its original position, hoping that my toe would magically “seal” everything back together. go immune system!

ew, my toe looks grosser than normal up close. also, now i have a slight fear of going up escalators while wearing open toed shoes. :(
