(that's the Chippewa word for stupid, btw -- seemed appropriate, given where I live)

I'm trying hard not to beat myself up for being an idiot, but I'm having a tough time and need some help from you all.

I am up at 2 a.m. because I am just a few minutes back from the ER, where I got 5 stitches in the bottom of my right foot because I was a frigging idiot and stepped on a glass.

Mind you, only I could do this -- because the glass was wrapped in paper and inside of a plastic bag. It fell on the floor and I didn't see it.

It was a couple minutes before I realized I had done more than step on a hanger or something, by which time I had walked through my living room, which now looks like a murder was committed here, since I am on blood thinners. I sat here for a few hours putting pressure on it and still couldn't stop the bleeding, so off to the ER I went.

The ER doc was very kind and tried to tell me that I didn't do it on purpose and shouldn't be beating myself up, but I am.

Probably this is my punishment for skipping my T appointment yesterday?

Somebody just tell me I'm not a moron, whether you think so or not. Maybe I'll believe it with enough outside help.
