I know you guys really want to know this but Sunday morning, I hurt my left foot. So much that it is rather hard to walk on it. Here’s the entire story:

Saturday evening I realized that the cats’ litter needed to be changed. I looked at the pale of kitty litter and found out that there wasn’t enough. I told my room mate it was her turn to buy the kitty litter. We hop in the car and ride down to bi-lo like 5 minutes before they close. Come home and i go to clean the litter. I walk into my room and it smells like cat pee. WTF?! I look around and sure enough the cat pee’d on my comforter which seeped down through my bedsheets and into my mattress. GREAT!! How do you get cat pee out of your mattress? I washed the comforter and bedsheets and rushed to look up a remedy online for extracting cat urine from your mattress. Some people said that it was impossible while others said that baking soda would do the trick. we had some baking soda! We suppose to be put the baking soda on the urine stain and it would turn yellow. this is how you know that it’s soaked up the urine. it never turned yellow. ( so I slept on th mattress very carefully as to not sleep on the urine spot.

I promise, this leads up to me hurting my foot.

Sunday morning, I wake up and go to stand and I don’t realize that my left leg is asleep and i can’t feel it. I lose my balance and begin to fall sideways. I quickly decided that i needed to turn so that my butt could catch the fall. When i turned, most of my body turned but my left foot stayed planted on the floor. I twisted my ankle and some how broke no, not broke…ripped the skin apart where the bottom of my toe meets the bottom of my foot and my pinkie toe is either broken or i busted a blood vessel. i can’t tell. it’s all swollen and kind of purple. i can still move it. according to my mother, if i were to go to the hospital they couldn’t do anything for a broken toe. I don’t have insurance anyways. so bleh. I checked it this morning and i swear it looks better from the the top, but where the skin ripped apart it still looks bad. i haven’t put any peroxide on it yet because i have no money to buy any. thanks Bank of America for holding my paycheck. thanks Target for changing banks. ugh…

and to make things worse. i had to park near the career center this morning and walk my way to my first class in University. My class is on the 3rd floor, but you better believe i’m using the elevator.
