I was crossing the side street that my house is on, on my way to the bus stop on the corner. I was wearing my pretty high-heeled sandals, and, as per typical, wasn't especially watching my feet.
And somehow -- and I'll be damned if I know how I managed this one -- I managed to get a skinny metal rod stuck in the side of my big toe. It was about eight inches long, and a few millimeters wide. The end that got in my foot was flattened, which I guess made it sharper. It didn't go in very deep or anything, but it was certainly startling to look down and realize this thing was sticking out of my foot. I don't know if I tripped on something just so, or what -- it's not like I stepped right on it, but I just have no idea what I did. Probably one of those "you couldn't do that if you tried" things.
I pulled it out, went home, cleaned up with antibacterial soap, band-aided, changed shoes, and caught the next bus. So no major delay, but not exactly how I'd choose to start the week.
Now waiting for my doctor's office to open, because my tetanus shots are not up to date and I want to find out if I need to go get one. Whee... [ETA: Appointment for a tetanus shot this afternoon. This will be my first injection in... um, a long time. Yeep.]
