Stubbed Toes

Ever have one of those days when it feels like you have no idea how something happened but after it happened you just shake your head and laugh?  A few nights ago I had one of those and I'm still shaking my head and laughing as to how and why it happened.  I was awoken at about 1:30 in the morning from a deep slumber to quench my thirst so I run into my kitchen and as I do so I do it in the dark as to not suddenly get that feeling when you've been in the dark and a light is turned on.  So as I enter the doorway into my kitchen I take a sharp turn and violently slam my left foot into the frame of the doorway and suddenly that feeling of having the light affect my sleepy eyes doesn't seem so bad because the feeling of foot to frame is not a pleasant experience.  

Several hours later when I awaken to start my day I suddenly feel the way the image above describes the feeling as I bear weight on my left foot.  Since I'm so damn clever I decide to wear my shoes and not thinking clearly because the radiating pain coming from my toe and the fact that I'm walking out the door to head out into my day clearly explains why I looked like a wounded animal after escaping a trap.  After my day ends I return home and remove my shoe like a weight being lifted off my shoulders.  I look at my toe and realize it is not broken but in a world of pain.  So as I sit back enjoying a cold brew and write this blog I realize that life's experiences come in different ways and lessons are learned even when you're wanting to just quench your thirst at 1:30 in the morning.
