Soooooooooooo...Book Expo is next week. Since I work for people who sell books, this means we have to get the showroom looking all nice and spiffy since we'll be having dozens of people come through in the next week.
That means we get hundreds of books delivered to us over the course of this week. So many books we don't have space to put them all or, when there is space, time to put them up correctly.
So yesterday I was running around the showroom barefoot because flip flops are not conducive to running around with pounds of books in your arms.
However, it does turn out that bare feet + stacks of very heavy books on the floor is conducive to stubbing your toes so hard you break one of them.
Okay, I'm not a doctor, nor can I afford to go to one (plus, what the fuck can they do for a baby toe), but I'm pretty damn sure I managed to break my little toe by walking into a stack of books. Not dropping a stack on my foot (that would make sense), but simply walking into a stack.
Yesterday my two little toes were red and hurt like hell. Today it's just the baby toe, swollen to (at least) twice its usual size and a very angry purple/red, with an ugly ring of purple bruising forming around the base. I also can't move it for the life of me. Walking is a bitch. Doing much of anything aside from sitting around and complaining is difficult.
