Broken toes and tea

One summer, a few years ago, I had the misfortune to repeatedly manage to break my toes. I very nearly bought steel toed boots to clomp and stomp around in, I got so tired of my clumsiness. I vowed I would be more careful in the future, and I have! Until the other night.

Late night. Dark stairs. Lounging cat. You put the pieces together. No, I didn't step on the cat. But his sudden movement startled me and I lost my balance in my attempt to avoid stepping on him, and...well, I managed not to fall down the stairs. But did manage to do something funky, and now I'm limping around like an old woman. It might be just a sprain this time, since there is no bruising. I'm hoping.

So today I am giving myself some love in a mug and drinking an herbal tea from my daughter. The writing is in French, so I can't read it all, but have figured out it has hibiscus, apples, rosehips, elderflower, raspberry flavoring, orange peel and orange flavoring. Oh, and see the little heart shaped spoon?

  1. Ouch! I hope it's just a light sprain, and you heal up quickly. Although, I know from experience that even a light sprain can hurt like crazy!

    I'm pretty accident prone too. So much so that I even got a packet of sticky plasters (bandaids) in my Christmas stocking last year... Cute ones with pictures of owls on them.

    1. It's looking more like a sprain. A couple of days later and I'm no longer limping. Counting my blessings here! And I have to laugh about your bandaids. My husband bought himself some bandaids that featured the Avengers.

  2. Glad it's looking like just a sprain, and you're no longer limping. Cool about the bandaids... Avengers are a good choice!
