Ouch

 So, last week I promised to get out and take some pictures.

I do have a picture for you. One that shows why I didn't get out and take other pictures. :P

I unthinkingly sent my tennis shoes off with the shipping container and had to wear mana_trini 's for my exercise. Only, they were too big and were rubbing my tendons raw, so I decided to take them off. And walk the remaining 5km barefoot. Fast. On the tarmac.

J says I was trying to be a warrior. I say I was trying to keep from being called a wimp. 



Yes, those are blood blisters. Yes, they hurt. But I'm not a wimp. Oh, and my feet are "clean" in the picture. I just couldn't bear to scrub any harder to get the oil and tar off.

I used to have such tough feet when I was an urchin. So silly of me to think those callouses survived just because I go barefoot around the house and on the occasional short jaunt when I find shoes constraining, see above. :P

My urchin days, it seems, are far behind me. Alas.

Btw, do you mind if I friend you? I checked out your journal and you seem to be a very interesting person to follow. No obligation to friend me, naturally.
