Today I wore a shoe for the first time since the foot thing happened! It was very exciting! Still walking a little oddly but I am definitely on the mend!

Obviously I have been using my time to fulfill my January Vow to write a letter each day:

Some of my letters are apparently taking the scenic route

Unfortunately, I have been as yet unable to mail any of these letters since I am out of stamps and, until today, unable to go out and get more. Sorry for the hold up, massive pile of typewritten pages! You’ll be on your way shortly!

Yeah, that’s right. Spoiler alert: I’m writing all letters on my brand new typewriter! Get excited for endearingly poor punctuation and words oddly broken off because they won’t fit on one line and I don’t really get the auto-return function yet. Don’t you see that makes it more amazing? Of course you do. You can barely contain your excitement, I can tell.

Dear the Internet,

Happy New Year! What’s new with you? Here’s what’s up with me:

1) I had my first trip to the emergency room on Thursday! How exciting! I cut my foot pretty badly on the glass out of a picture frame (why are those things so sharp??) and rather than attempt reattaching it, the doctor decided to just remove the part I’d almost cut off anyway! My dad took some pictures at the time, possibly because he thought being annoyed at him would distract me from the pain of getting part of me cut off, but I’m not going to show you those. You’re welcome. Here is my foot now, four days later:

I included my non-injured foot so you could see the difference

It’s not a huge wound, but apparently you use the side of your foot a lot more than you think, because I’m still hobbling kind of funny. It’s getting better though! And they assured me that the nail would grow back only slightly wonky. I’m pretty sure this is my foot’s revenge for me airing my past grievances about its size to you.

2) Steven made hoppin’ john for New Year’s yesterday, and it was delicious!
