No wonder you're feeling low as well.

get well soon m'dear.

I meanwyhile have some kind of flu type thing knocking at my door. I'm not into the worst of it, hopefully that will hold off til tonight and I have the weekend to recover, but I feel rank. Sore throat, congested airways, aching muscles, alternating between impossibly blocked nose and a running tap, and occasional explosive sneezes.

And today I teach a new class. Fucking marvellous.

[Aliantha]

No sore thoat here. Just congested chest and of course lungs. In a way its more bearable than a normal cold cause its only a problem if i need to use my lungs at more than about 30%. Anyway, i will survive. I suspect you will too Dana. Its just annoying when theres stuff to do.

Everybody is sick at my house. Pete is recovering from shoulder surgery and picked up whatever virus it is as well. Shorties are sick at school.

Took the red shoes out for a walk.
Only to the local shop and back, but it was their first outing and we had no mishaps.

Wearing the silver boots right now.
Still have issue across the toes. And the fact I can't zip the left one up completely. And the pain in the balls - see, I can relate! Oh and slight balance issues.

So nothing that can't be worked on.
Let's put it this way, I can master the red shoes to the extent that I can wear them as if they are normal, as long as I do it regularly. The silver boots boots will always require a taxi, sobriety (good) and level flooring. But they may still be able to be trotted out with only a week's practice once mastered.

So you adapt your body and lifestyle to accommodate your shoes.

I hate naggarts. Dear naggarts, can you just please shut the hell up?

Okay, I'll go to bed now. :-/

[Aliantha]

I ripped my nail off. I know you're not sorry!

[xoxoxoBruce]

Keep it warm and moist.

[Aliantha]

I have mostly been keeping it elevated. Helps with the throbbing.

[glatt]

Gah! That looks painful.

I'm not really sure what I'm looking at though. Does the nail polish only go half way up? It looks like there's bloody clear nail up at the tip, and painted nail at the base. And all of it's bloody and damaged. Or is the entire nail painted, and half of it's gone?

[Nirvana]

Oh Ali I have to say I am sorry about ur finger! That had to hurt like a son of a bitch!

[Sundae]

Shittington!
Ali that looks bloody awful. But in a creepy way, I'm so glad you shared.

Bruce, I've never been one of those women. Well, not since my very early 20s.
But part of my change is to stop thinking, "That's not me, I don't that" and be more positive, "I can do it with practice, even if it means starting again every day."
Which is a deep and meaningful reason for a rather silly aim. But it doesn't hurt anyone. Until I trip over Diz of course. Pesky cat.

And they are great boots.

[Aliantha]

The nail polish ends where i was able to cut the nail back to. The clear area is exposed nail bed.

It was bent all the way back to the cuticle, but I couldn't get the clippers any further back without touching the exposed bed. When the nerves settle down a bit I will cut the rest off so it can heal cleanly.
