Last night one of these rolled off the stool and
onto my foot! I was scooting them over and
they got a little too close to the edge!
I elevated it and put a bag of
they got a little too close to the edge!
I elevated it and put a bag of
frozen blueberries on it for a while.
Nothing seemed broken and we were about to
leave for a business dinner. I tried out my heels
and they felt fine, surprisingly, so off we went.
Being off of it while sleeping really helped the swelling.
Now it's just a little tender and a little ugly. ha.
I slept late, took some Advil, and enjoyed some extra
time in bed with my iPad and a cup of coffee.
Slate gave my toes a little kiss....
and made sure I wasn't lonely.
I feel better already.
Thanks, sweet kitty.
That bruise does detract from my pretty pedicure, though,
don't you think? I have to tell you that I laughed so many
times at my Spring Fun To Do List, as my eye would catch,
"get a sandal worthy pedicure" and my mind would read,
"get a scandal worthy pedicure" !!! LOL! If I did that once,
I did it 50 times this spring. Not sure what kind of
pedicure you'd have to get to cause a scandal, but
obviously, my subconscious wanted one! ha.

awww....thank goodness for our kitty cats...
ReplyDeleteyikes bets...you need to be careful...mine are 25s so i imagine they would have def
broke my foot...ha
Ouch ouch ouch!! That does not sound friendly. I am glad that you are resting up and that it is getting better, pretty extreme way to remember to have some relaxing time though, try something less drastic next time please! Your pedi looks lovely, and made me think that I really most do something about my feet and toes, they are still in hiding in boots winter mode! Hope that you are OK. xx
DeleteBrian ~ 25 lbs? haha...yeah, mine are girly weights for sure. I would need two hands to lift one of yours! But any heavier and it would have been worse for my foot. ha..
DeleteAmy ~ Yes, you need to pretty up your feet and dig out the sandals! Although, it's cold and rainy here today, so mine are snug in socks and slippers. haha.
DeleteOh OUCH!! The silver lining...a beautiful set of toes, and little grey fur paw to comfort you. I'm going this after noon for a pedicure...Really need it bad.
ReplyDeleteOh, good for you! How very fun! You deserve a little TLC after working so hard this week! :)
DeleteYour toes influenced me...I sporting pretty bright pink toes right now!!! That exactly what my dearest said...Honey you deserve some pampering. I'll tell you renting from your Aunt was a piece of cake...move in and pay rent. To rent from a company...yikes I was in property management for 20 years, and we didn't require half as much as they did. Don laughed and said it is easier to get out of prison, than rent an apartment. HaHa. But things are looking good. We should know for sure in a few days.
DeleteI'm so excited for you...for your toes and the apartment! Take a picture of your feet and let us all oooh and ahh! lol....
DeleteThat Slate is pretty much purrfect. Love how his little paws are mimicking your feet. Glad the weight didn't hit your toes. I once had a 20 oz. glass bottle of iced tea fall from the child's seat in a grocery cart directly onto my big toe. That did me in for weeks. Lynne in NC
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? He is such a sweetheart and so cute. I love how he laid there next to me. So glad I had my camera handy. Yes I am so thrilled it didn't hit my toe or break anything....could have been so much worse! I'm really not in any pain at all today.
DeleteAaha! Hope you are feeling a bit more better by now..the frozen blue berries did the trick for which your wound turned out much lesser..
ReplyDeleteYour pedicure looks lovely and love the colour of your nail paint..Slate is a caring cute boy..loved the way he stretched out his paws and tried to give company to you..<3
Those blueberries came in handy! haha. Yes, Slate is such a sweetie....lending comfort where it is needed! ha.
Deletekitty feet imitating people feet, lol, so sorry to hear of your accident, ouch!! The quick application of blueberries must have really helped!
ReplyDeleteI know...his outstretched legs by mine just cracked me up!
DeleteI had those frozen blueberries on there within seconds. I'm sure it helped a lot with the bleeding and swelling. It isn't often I have to do first aid on myself! haha.
Aah Slate is a sweetheart and a really cute cat:)
ReplyDeleteSorry you have this accident and the frozen blueberry helped?
Cute really cute.
Sometimes these things happens to me sigh!
Fortunately you have a lovely color in yours nails!
Yours feet look beautiful lol
Take care:)
haha...yes, one foot is prettier than the other now.
DeleteI do hate how bruises turn colors as they heal.
I'm sure it will look worse before it looks better!
But it really doesn't hurt! Blueberries helped. lol...
and Slate. :)
Slate is your nurse lol
DeleteAww how you know the blueberries are really healthy lol
♡♥♡♥
yes, healthy! and they frozen ones make a great ice pack! haha.
DeleteOf course:)
DeleteAnd prettier than a bag of peas! lol!
DeleteYou poor thing!! Fancy that weight falling on your pretty foot - good job it wasn't a much heavier one. It does look inflamed and might take a while to heal fully but I am sure the frozen Blueberries helped a lot initially.
ReplyDeleteAs an ex Ambulanceman I would just loved to have kissed it better for you but that might indeed have caused a scandal LOL . . . . . so well done Slate for a job well done. Otherwise, what lovely nails you have there and love the colour - are you intending having a cometition with Linda?
haha...no, Linda would win!
DeleteIf you kissed all the boo boos to make them better while you were an ambulance man, then you probably did cause some scandals! haha.
All part of the service!! LOL
DeleteOh and the nails would go very well with the red wellies! ROFL (duck Edddie)
DeleteWhy yes, they do! But they wouldn't be seen if I had my wellies on! They need to make wellies with holes for our toes! haha.
DeleteOh! I see - or rather I don't see!! LOL. Seriously I like the colour and finish very much.
DeleteSilly man. :) I'm just glad I'm such a wimp and only have 5 lbs weights. If I lifted 25 lb ones, my foot would be in a cast. How irritating that would be! I wonder if they'd let my toes show in a cast so I wouldn't waste my pedicure. lol....
DeleteYour pedicure looks great, but ouch! Hope it heals up quickly!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the pedicure but it's gotten too cold for toes to be naked outside!...or inside for that matter! haha.
DeleteHope you feel better soon. That looks painful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in. Moving day is Wed. (finally). We are ready.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Oh, how exciting for you!!! Hope it all goes smoothly and you get settled quickly.
DeleteI miss your posts!
OW! If there's any silver lining in the story it's that the weight didn't fall on your toes. I bet it would have broken THEM.
ReplyDeleteI know! I was worried about those thin little bones on top of our feet, but they wiggle fine. I would have really hated to have my foot in a cast. ugh!
DeleteLooks painful! Glad Slate was there to give you some TLC 💗 love your pretty pink polish!
ReplyDeleteThat Slate...he's a keeper!
DeleteOh Betsy, that looks horrible!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope nothing turns out to be broken. But I am glad you are getting some down time, I am guessing you don't usually get much of it.
I stayed in bed until noon! haha....I played on my iPad and had breakfast and coffee...and the company of a few kitties. It was wonderful!
DeleteIt's getting a little sore tonight, but I've been on it 8 hours now. It hasn't swollen any more so I think it's good!
Ouch to that
ReplyDeleteGood thing nothing was broken at your mat
That could lead to a scandal indeed
The case of the possessed weight at your feed
When really it was the tighty whity neighbor who did it
He used invisible string to make it hit
So you'd want to soothe your feet in the sink
And he could watch and give a wink
Case solved at my sea
Good for Slate to stay with thee
Oh gee, I laughed out loud.
DeleteHope his view was obscured by a cloud!
No soaking in the sink...
just propped it up on my desk since it was pink.
If that was his plan,
the weird man,
then it certainly failed,
causing him to wail.
You know all about weird neighbors
who ask for amazing favors.
hahaha....
And wasn't Slate a cute kitty
stretching out like that beside me?
Didn't want me to be lonely
as I browsed a bit on Etsy.
lol....
haha yeah such a great cat indeed
DeleteHe's sure happy he found your feed
And uh huh to the creepy old farts
Hit them with darts haha
Had my fill
Of neighbors at my hill
If yours with a dart you did hit
Deletein some sick way he'd probably like it!
Nursemaid Slate... he's a keeper! Love the last shot of the two of you in tandem. I have a theory about the scandal pedicure appearing to you in your sidebar. It's because you want to go to this quite-famous salon in Las Vegas!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.scandalssalonandspa.com/
Oooh....that looks amazing! Let's go, Suz! We should fly out there for a few days of pampering. We could schedule one of each thing they have to offer and leave as new women! Fun, fun! Scandal indeed! hahaha...
DeleteYay! I'm in. Wouldn't that be fun? I have a big smile on my face just thinking about it! Grabbing my passport...
DeleteIt sure would! So many decisions....highlights or extensions? How many hours of full body massages? What scent do you want for your facial? Wine or champagne while you sit in the jet tub? hahah....
DeleteWine AND champagne please! So many things to choose from. I want them all. We'd be like putty getting on the plane home. :-)
DeleteBy the way, Arnica gel is absolutely amazing for bruising. I bruise very easily and swear by it.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! I've never heard of it, but with a quick search, I see that my favorite Swansons Health Products carries it! I wonder how it would feel on my arthritic thumbs!
DeleteIt's a godsend for my arthritic here-and-theres. It's not cheap (at least not up here), but it's worth it.
DeleteI'm going to add it to my order next time I place one! Thanks for telling me about it.
Delete$6.59 for a 7.5 oz tube. I bet that's less expensive than you pay...I noticed it's made here in Arnica, Montana. Next etsy order I'll have to send you a tube!
DeleteHoly cow - that's much less expensive. Mine (when it's on sale) is $17.49 for 70 grams (2.5 ounces) and it's regularly $23.99. And yours is almost three times the size for $6.59? What a difference! Sigh.
DeleteYou are lucky the weight did not fall on one of your toes. If it had you would have to call for a toe truck. :)
ReplyDeletehahaha.....silly man! :)
DeleteOuch! Sorry you hurt your foot but your pedicure looks pretty :) Hope it feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise. It's a little tender this morning, but doesn't look too bad!
DeleteSo sorry about your foot!! Hope you're back to dancing by now though!! And you need to stop putting these erotic photos on here...
ReplyDeletehaha...that sounds worse than scandalous! I need both feet and hands to get that garden in the ground! No injuries allowed! :)
DeleteAnd you are SO going to win the 'first ripe tomato' contest. We're still just too cold for anything to grow!
Ouch is right!
ReplyDeleteYou and Slate both have such dainty feet!
