Me VS the weed eater

Okay... it is a Friday. I am feeling good and looking to mow the lawn. Of course I have to edge around the fence and hence the weed eater comes to play. Everything is going well. I finished about 3/4 of the yard when all of sudden the string thing jams. It does that every so often and I just have to un-jam. I am standing in my driveway and it is resting on the concrete. I go to unplug the eater and somehow hit the power button. It flies along the concrete and hits my foot. Now... most would think that is no big deal. And it really would have been no big deal if I was actually wearing real shoes and socks. But NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... I have to do all my yard work in flip-flops (which I have always done). It ripped up the side of my foot pretty good and bled quite well. Luckily I do not need stiches. Still cannot put a lot of weight on my foot and it is starting to bruise, but lesson learned. Although I have always known I should wear real shoes... it still may not change my habit.

Hey... I am just being honest... or telling it like it is... or something!
