I expected it to be a day much like any other day. Boy! Was I wrong!
First off, I got up and walked downstairs without shoes to the kitchen. A place in my foot on the bottom next to my heel hurt like a summa-bitch but I kind of ignored it. I put on shoes and figured the pain would go away. It sort of did as long as I was wearing my 3" heel platform shoes.
Yesterday was very hot. I melt when it gets to be over 67 degrees and it hit 90 degrees here. We have no air conditioning. We live in Northern California for heaven's sake. Didn't Mark Twain say the coldest winter he ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco? I turned on the fan in the office and sat down to check my email and visit Michael WJ and Ziva. Both of these bloggers have joined in having a 30 Day of Photos Non-Competition. Michael and Ziva are a couple of my favorite bloggers, and favorite people for that matter. Many of the bloggers participating in this challenge are not only wonderful bloggers but great photographers. I was really looking forward to seeing what they all had contributed.
But first things first. I wanted to look at my emails and see the comments on my own blog. (I'm a little self-centered, I admit it.) Much to my surprise, I had no comments, not even one. In fact I had no comments for over 2 and 1/2 years of blogging. In fact, there wasn't even a place to leave a comment on my blog. What's worse, I went to look at the photo blogs posted by other bloggers yesterday and I couldn't comment on any of them if they were "Disqus" powered sites. Double damn!
I know enough to know that something was rotten in Disqus land. But what? Here it is hot as hell, I have a painful foot, and I can't get the blog stuff to work at all. Fortunately, my rocket scientist husband would be home after work and he could "fix" it. (Alex can fix anything! Just ask him!)
Since the computer was useless at this point, I watched hours of CNN while realizing that it was getting so hot in the house I felt ready to faint. The only thing I could think of to do is take a nap. But wait, it was too hot to sleep. I wandered in to get some ice out of the kitchen, but I had pulled off my shoes when I got on the bed. Ouch! I nearly collapsed with the pain in my foot! This was no joke! There is something wrong! In fact, there are a few things wrong! I was feeling horrible from the heat. I can't read or comment on blogs, and my right foot is screwed up. Plus, my favorite pair of cords either shrunk or my butt had gotten bigger almost over night.
Alex (my husband, the genius, or as we call him, "El Jefe"), came home. He was unable to fix whatever was going on with my blog. To add insult to injury, the heat had intensified to 95 degrees. And my foot still hurt. It was too hot to sit around trying to fix my blog thingy, so I told Alex to forget it.
I got into bed grumpy and got up even more grumpy. I thought about calling a foot doctor but then I decided I wasn't dying yet, so I'd wait a few more days.
Miracles do happen. The blog thing comments started working again. The forecast says "cooler tomorrow", and my foot is still attached (even if painfully) to my leg. My cords have stretched out again.
Life is good. Well, sort of.
