Ouch

Yesterday I took Buddy to the vet to get him neutered and microchipped. This particular vet keeps him for a full 24hrs, so I couldn't pick him up until this morning. He was a bit whiny (and very hungry) but he's fine now (maybe slightly upset that I wouldn't let him hog down a whole bowl of food and water, but I didn't want him to barf everywhere).
After dropping M off at school yesterday, I somehow managed to injure myself by stubbing my toe on the rocking chair outside. I have a chunk of flesh and a flap of toenail that are both hanging by a thread, plus I'm pretty sure I broke it (swollen, hurts to bend, sharp needle-like pains if I move it the wrong way). Yesterday I didn't wear shoes after I hurt it, but I had to put on shoes to pick up Buddy this morning. It made me realize two things: 1. I have ALOT of between-the-toe type of flip flops (did I mention this was the big toe on my left foot? and that it is currently buddy-taped to the adjoining toe?) and 2. it is easier to walk without bending your toes if you are barefoot than if you are wearing sandals.
