[1:29 AM EDT - Rub-a-dub-dub, my foot in a tub.]

So here I am soaking my foot in this herbal extract with nothing much else to do. (Except play Diablo 2.) Nightmare is pretty tough, I wonder how bad Hell will be..

So I walked home tonight. This was the first time I walked home from school with my bad foot (I lucked out with rides the other two times I went to school). It was long and.. long. Yeesh, I can't wait until my foot heals. It was pretty cold tonight, it was actually quite chilly on the way to school, so I was a little worried that it might be cold on the way back. I usually don't have too much of a problem with cold weather because I tend to walk quickly, generating enough excess heat that I stay warm on the way back to the house. Hobbling with a crutch doesn't seem to require much energy, but I was surprised at how tiring it is. Instead of spreading out the work between the two legs, most of the work is done by only one leg while the arm splits some of the work with the other leg. *rubs sore shoulder*

In the end, you use up as much energy (if not more) hobbling around as you do walking, and I had no problem with the cold. It was just so slow.. It's not that bad right now knowing that I'll heal overtime and this will be behind me, but when old age begins to set in, I'll slow down and know that there's no speeding up again.. how agonizing.

You know, with this injury, little treks like walking across the building have turned into grand journeys, taking more time to do now than it did for me to walk home (okay, I exaggerate but still!). Man is it ever annoying.

One more thing before I go back to dunking my foot, I was reading up on Jax's EuroAsia trip memoirs and thought the Filipina maid thing was interesting. I knew someone's mom who was mistaken as a maid while she was visiting Hong Kong. Hmm.. I wonder if that stereotype is localized to the Hong Kong area?

Um.. it's Filipino/Filipina, not Philleppean!

Oops, thanks for the tip Reg. I knew that it looked kind of funny, but I didn't have access to a dictionary at the time.
