If you are gonna break something for a first break, it shouldn't be a little toe. That's just lame. But I often run into the same problem every time my body decides without my conscious awareness that it wants to see if it can take on the wall only for me to hobble away in pain. Why does the wall always have to win? Not fair! The trouble here in France, more than avoiding absent minded injuries like these, is avoiding stepping in dog poop. The pooper-scooper isn't really mandatory here and so the thousands of people who walk their dogs never take the time to pick it up and you have to constantly be on your guard not to step in dog poop. It's a constant battle just walking down the street in the morning. It's part of the reason I have decided to drink my cup of coffee before I get to school because if I am not awake, terror will strike, and I don't mean Al Quaida!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617480612533506385.post-73954847758135445882010-10-20T18:16:43.938-04:002010-10-20T18:16:43.938-04:00Oh my gosh I can totally empathize! This weekend I...Oh my gosh I can totally empathize! This weekend I was jumping up onto a ledge in what I thought was a spritely manner--ended up slipping off mid-jump because of my flip flop. What a bruise! It's gotta be a square foot in area, but it's in the shape of a rooster. And it's a totally lame story. If I had done it skateboarding, I'd be proud.<br /><br />What is it about the backstory that makes our pain seem more legitimate? Logically, pain is pain.stacks mcgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665222350751078811noreply@blogger.com
