This morning I went for an X-ray and yes, the fifth metatarsal (the long bone about the length of a finger that's behind the little-toe bones) on my right foot is shattered. Fortunately, though, foot bones are already quite well-splinted and supported so I do not need a cast or anything like that. It will need a tensor bandage for about two weeks, then it will take another 4 weeks or so to heal completely. Meanwhile I just walk as much as I feel I can, otherwise take it easy, and here, have some Tylenol.

So, things don't seem so bad today. This will not screw up my trip to the desert (seven weeks hence), no cast or anything required, and I am getting positively and perversely proud of my ability to tolerate pain (though I am getting less and less patient with unsolicited pain like this).

Yippee, in a relative sense!

Hamtaro is gonna pay, though. The bastinado for that little rodent!

that is very impressive since you danced after it happened! Is it really Hamtaro's fault, or Gray's?

Well, I s'pose I could put Gray to the bastinado as well, but I think he might wriggle too much. I do blame him for playing Devo's "Head Like a Hole" right after the Hamtaro Theme, making me dance more and more... he must know my weaknesses.

you managed to resist during "Master and Servant" though.

Yes, I had to resist my impulses manfully several times that night, Gray played some good music.

Oh, by the way, I would like to thank publicly you and Eve for your consideration in not trampling my broken foot while you were fighting over the chair - Paul still managed to kick me, though only once.

that's why I kept skipping over the chair by you since I figures that youl definatly kill your usual good humor.

Good thing she and I are so dainty.

and thank you for not stealing the chair when we weren't there!

Another impulse I had to resist manfully. Can't quite shake my programmed respect for property rights, though.

now we know for sure who the mature one is.

that or you couldn't shake your parental programming.

The former, I hope.

Or maybe not - you're only young once, but you can be immature forever!

I meant as a parent you did the mature thing, like telling us to share it.

Don't worry, if I grow up I want to be just like you. Except the accidents. And the coffee. Your coffe consuption scares me. Or the sugar avoidance. I'm just not Anne without the sweetings and innocence eating.

no, no, that's what he calles sugar loaded stuff eaten in private so no one knows about it. Dosn't count as diet cheating because no one knows.

Well he said it once at about 3 am at least.

haahha that's...interesting!

i think i like the idea of you stalking the town eating little children's innocence, though.

children like to have their innocence eaten.

Jeez, I go away for a few hours, leaving things on a relatively high moral plane, and now look what you kids have done to the discussion...

"Uh oh, Dad's home and he's real mad..."
