Whether you've seen the picture or not... the damaged toe in the picture below was caused by a momentary distraction.
So, I have a sliding door.
It turns out that with a bit of ingenuity this door will support 2 window fans.
One on the bottom, one on the top.
The one on the top is held in place by a bar that holds the sliding door tight against the fan.
On August 28th I was putting the fans in place as I have done dozens of times before.
Then...
A MOMENTARY DISTRACTION!!!
And smash.
The fan fell 4 feet on to... my... foot.
Specifically the second toe on my right foot.
After a silent scream and nearly passing out twice I got the blood to stop dripping and everything was wrapped up in tissues and socks.
Now I suffer as I recover.
But today went well, and the toe hurts less every day.
But still...
Seriously...
ouch

Smashed!
An ode to my toe.
Poor toe.
Didn't deserve it.
Actually...
I didn't either.
This level of pain
is clearly uncalled for, right?
Now I can't walk right.

Wow, it's been a long time...
Hi blog.
I know I don't post often.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I feel inspired though, so here we go.
I just happened to step outside and I noticed something.
I lived in California for a long time. The nights there were quiet. This evening I stepped outside around 9pm and I noticed how loud the world was. There were frogs, crickets, and various other animal noises coming from everywhere.
Most of the time I think how nice it would be to move back to California, but every now and then I notice the cool things about living in Minnesota. Things like the loud night. I love that there is so much natural noise happening around me at night. The frogs. The bugs. Their symphony of the night is something I will miss when I move back out west.
I don't know when I'll move back... but I still want to.
For now, I'll just continue to enjoy myself here. Because the land of 10,000 lakes really does have a whole lot to enjoy.
I'll talk to you later blog.
(I hope you don't hate me for neglecting you.)
