Really weird bad luck

Over the weekend, I was taking a walk around my neighborhood and while simply attempting to step up a curb, I managed to somehow smash only the middle toe of my left foot.  This is especially weird because I have these freaky toes that are all the same length, so it seems as though if I were going to smash one, I'd smash them all, right?

But look:

(I told you my toes were freaky.)  Only the middle one.  Bruised, a little scraped and swollen on the side (which you can't see in the picture as it's hidden by my other toe).  Anyway, all weekend I continued wearing my flip flops or going barefoot and since it was rainy I spent a lot of time in my apartment reading.  Then today I put on regular shoes so that people wouldn't have to look at my freaky toes (except you guys.  Don't you feel special?).  Yea, it kind of hurt.  Stupid toes.  And I know you love the flip flop tan lines and the super bright toenail polish. 


After work today I stopped at CVS because in my obsession concern about my pores I needed to buy more pore strips (again, aren't you guys so happy about all the fun things I'm sharing today?), where I purchased both strips and a package of facial masks.  I was all excited about a deep pore cleansing evening until I opened the package of pore strips and SOME JACKASS HAD GONE THROUGH THEM IN THE STORE AND TAKEN OUT ALL THE STRIPS.  They left the little instruction packet in there so I could still feel stuff rattling around and didn't realize that it was empty.  It makes me so furious when people do stupid things like that.  So now I have to go back to the store tomorrow and convince them that I did not remove all the strips and then attempt to cheat the store.  Stupid stupid shoplifters.  And of course the thing that really gets to me is that I must have picked up like 4 boxes trying to find one that didn't look tampered with.  Of course.

Anyway, to round this out, here's another gratuitous picture of the view from my window on a sunny day, simply because we haven't seen much sun around here in the last couple of weeks and I miss it:
