i'm off to mexico tomorrow...i can't wait...thanks to everyone for your prayers and for the financial support you have given us...this is going to be a life-changing week for many...
before i leave, i want to tell you all of my little mishap this past week...and before i tell you, i already know that you are all going to say..."only shelly could do such a thing"...but for those of you who know heather, she could possibly be capable of this too....
ok...so i went to my freezer the other day (and i already hate my ghetto fridge/freezer combo in my new apt..it's on of those that doesn't have a separate freezer, it's just a little flappy door inside the fridge...so basically stuff is shoved in there and is jam packed...) well, anyway....i opened it, and out fell on of those frozen ice things that you put in your cooler, no mind you, not one of those little ones, but one of those really big ones that screw into the bottom of the cooler lid.......well, as it falls 5 feet to the ground it landed right on my baby toe......let's just say it was instant pain......i couldn't even talk.....you know that pain you get when you stub your toe and you just want to cuss...well, this was like 100 times more.....i couldnt even explain to tony what had happened because no words would come out of my mouth...then i just sat down and started crying my eyes out........
that was on tuesday, and today is the first day my little toe is not the size of my big one......over the past week, my toe has turned nice shades of black and blue, and the bruising has spread to cover the top of my foot....making it's way past my middle toe even.....the color has recently been changing to reds and greens as it heals......yesterday was the first day i didn't have to limp.....
who breaks their toe opening a freezer? ahahhah
now i'm so excited to cram work boots/shoes on as i build houses in mexico....
tony is making me put shoes on today to get used to it.....
the true irony is that it was something frozen that broke my toe, the very frozen thing i would voluntarily place on my toe for healing......
that's my story....dumber things have happened to me....(see old blog on my neck injury related to blow drying my hair)
catch you all when i get back from mexico.....
