Why I Might Be Just a Bit Grouchy

I had this really terrific blog post planned for today. It included how wonderful my weekend went (financially and entertainingly), how Ben had gotten sick but managed by teamwork kept him from another Thanksgiving episode, how much better life has been the past two or three weeks, and how much I was looking forward to the weekend off so I could work in the yard. Post postponed.

For almost a year now I've had this "thing" on the digit next to my left foot's pinkie toe. I suspected what it was but this "thing" never gave me a problem. It just looked sort of gross and since most people are not focused (usually...unless you're really weird...like me) on someone else's feet I decided not to even deal with it.

Well a funny - okay it really isn't funny - thing happened within the last 24 hours. That particular toe is sore as hell! As in that it's painful to walk. The "thing" is most likely a corn and decided now was the time to make its presence known. Thankfully I have a weekend off to consider my options before daring my corn to make the 72 hours of my next festival miserable.

I tell you this not to be gross....okay...I lie. I really love writing about gross stuff that all of us can identify with but I need some information. Google gave me a bunch of really stupid remedies. I'll be going with the safe ones but if you have some more interesting ones then let me know. Also I need to name this little prick upon said toe. The best one gets an 8" x 10" giclee print; not of my deformed toe but your choice of a Ben & Bennie creation (voting is always a family endeavor).

Until tomorrow when I give you a terrific report about the weekend, all I can say is "Owww!"
