I worked for a grand total of one hour today before realizing there was no way I'd last seven more. Walking around Downtown Disney last night was doable, but that was in sneakers with plenty of cushion and arch support. Not so in work shoes today, even with the Dr. Scholl's inserts I bought yesterday. I can walk on it, but it feels terrible. So when I saw how well-staffed we were, I asked to go home. Of course, I feel stupidly paranoid and guilty about this. It's the Headache all over again, my asking for special treatment for a problem I can feel but no one else can see. So I assume they think I'm making it up just to be difficult. Why do I care so much about what other people think of my efforts to take care of myself?
Anyway, I've spent the last two hours Googling "stress fracture" and thoroughly freaking myself out. If that's what's causing my pain, I really should be staying off my foot as much as possible, because continuing to put weight on a fractured bone can cause it to get worse or actually break. Healing time supposedly involves at least four-to-six weeks of rest to allow the bone to repair itself. How am I supposed to do that while standing 40 hours a week?
Ugh. I foresee difficulty in my future if this is the case.
As for last night, I really enjoyed Star Trek: Into Darkness. There were some shady little plotholes, and some of the story felt contrived--more than I'd care to admit. But there were enough grin-worthy homages thrown in to keep me pretty happy, the soundtrack was gorgeous, and I was in good company, which always helps me better enjoy movies for some reason.
Hanging out with the guys so much makes me realize how much I miss having a close girlfriend in my daily life... apart from living with other girls, I mean, which isn't quite the same thing. It also makes me realize how much I fail at being a girl friend. I mean, shouldn't I be able to give these guys advice about girls?
Basically, I kind of just wish I was good at giving advice at all.
I may be going through another stupid insecurity spell. DO NOT WANT.
Submitted another article for Celebrate, Regenerate, and I'm debating writing up another one today. My first one made it in the book, though! My name's officially on the list. I'm stupidly proud of this, even if it IS only going to be a free pdf download.
