Yesterday my foot was killing me. I had planned on doing all sorts of wonderful things like cleaning, sewing, playing with the kitties, etc. But, instead I had to sit on my couch with an icepack on my foot most of the day. At least I got to do some knitting.
Before "the boot" came into my life I went to the coast for a couple of days. The Oregon coast is notorious for being cold, windy and rainy....generally miserable weather wise. But, by some stroke of luck it was absolutely wonderful. Sunny and warm!



Someone up there does not want me to ride my bike. Wednesday morning my foot was kind of sore, but not even really noticable...just like, "oh...my foot is a little sore" and then I didn't think about it again. So I rode to work and back. That night, after sitting on the couch knitting for about an hour, I got up to feed the kitties and it was like, "oh man, what's up with my foot??" but I figured it was some stupid I'm-getting-older-cramp kind of thing and it would be gone in the morning. Nope. It was even worse. I was certainly not going to ride my bike to work, but I also didn't want to take the bus and have to walk a long distance on the side of my foot (the only way I could walk without intense pain).
I ran across this post on Engadget about the new zune. As if that picture wasn't scary enough, I happened to have just finished painting a bust for a friend that was remarkably similar.....
