I've been trying to come up with a humorous angle for what's gone on recently, and I needed enough distance from it to see that it actually was already funny...
The Sunday before the last week of school before winter break, I broke my big toe. Not Fibro-broke, actually broke. This is the second time I have broken that one; the last time was in the 80s. Breaking a big toe is a MAJOR hindrance. You never realize how much you depend upon the big toe until you can't. Walking, balance... tucking in your shirt is almost impossible.
So the really funny part? How it happened. I was in standing line at my favorite coffee place. The big guy in front of me was having an animated conversation on his phone. Something struck him terribly funny at one point, and caused him to laugh and take two or three steps backward, without looking. That last step? Right on my big toe. And he was a very big guy... How does one break a toe in that situation? Seriously!
But don't worry. I still got my latte.
