My poor foot.

Saturday night, I was lying down in my bed when my phone rang. I figured it was my mom, so I knew I couldn't ignore it cuz she would just keep calling. So, I got out of bed. When I put my left foot on the ground, it slid back under one of the drawers on my bedframe. When I went to walk towards my desk (where my cell is) I, of course, had to lift my foot up, and it got caught on the drawer, ripping into the back of my foot. I didn't realize how badly it was bleeding until I got off the phone and checked it out. Anyways. I went downstairs and had my mom put some antibiotic oinment on it and a couple of bandaids. When I woke up Sunday morning, I took the bandaids off because they were falling off anyways, and I had a nice-sized chunk of skin hanging off my foot. Well, I pulled it off because it really wasn't serving any purpose hanging off my foot like that. It's such a weird feeling...pulling skin off of yourself. And I don't know that it's ever going to heal because it keeps rubbing up against the back of my shoe, which hurts...like a bitch, sometimes...
So yeah, missing a decent sized chunk of skin now...yay. And I really don't want to be at work today...I just want to be at home sleeping. Oh, and I'm kinda ticked because I wanted to undo what I had of Mary's scarf done and make it less wide so that the yarn would stretch farther (because nobody carries the stuff anymore!). Well, when I tried to unravel the thing, which usually isn't difficult (you just pull on the one end and it undoes the stitches) but the dang thing got stuck somehow. So, I tried to cut it, but that didn't work and I ended up f-ing that up. So, I started from the bottom, and I think I can get it done that way, but since I'm going backwards, it's going to take a really long time. So yeah...I thought it was going to be simple, but I'm denied. I probably shouldn't have used such a small hook for that yarn (it's got a bunch of fuzz and stuff and it's hard to see the stiches).
