my foot hurts, my phone sucks ass

• I am tired, and I've been so unlucky the past few days. I'm very sleep deprived as I write this so forgive the weird sentence structures and such. Monday morning I took Dad to fill out some forms to get a dumpster for the front yard. He's having both yards cleared later this week by a friend of Michelle's boyfriend. This lady behind the desk at the garbage place recognized Dad, he had helped with her dogs years ago when he was doing animal control. She thanked him for it, and I think that made his day, to know that he makes a difference in the lives of people. When I got home later that morning, I was walking through the hallway barefoot and stabbed myself in the left foot with a metal screw that was sticking out of part of a cat tree in the hallway. It hurt a lot, so I poured peroxide on it, slapped on a Garfield band-aid and went to sleep. I worked at Traffic that afternoon. Later on in the evening while at home and wearing flip-flops I stabbed myself in the same place in my foot AGAIN. This time on the corner of a random box that was sitting in our kitchen. (Note: TJ's sister is in the process of moving in so there's random crap everywhere) Oh man that HURT. It made a hole maybe half an inch deep in my foot and there was a lot of blood. TJ did some minor surgery (basically cleaned and bandaged it), and I went to work. I've been changing the bandages about 3 times a day, using peroxide/polysporin, and there is no sign of infection. It hurts when I walk on it, but that's expected. So yeah, that's been fun. I'll try to maybe stop by urgent care later today or tomorrow and get it looked at, just in case.
  
• Tuesday morning Dad went back to the doctor. Turns out he has some kind of fungal infection in his lungs on top of whatever else. Tests are still being run. Dad's finishing the antibiotics and getting breathing treatments. He has to go have his stomach tube replaced next week, luckily it's an in-office procedure.
  
• Oh yes also, my phone decided to stop working on Tuesday. It had died the night before and I put it on my charger while I was asleep. When I woke up I noticed it had the little hourglass symbol which meant it was still loading. I tried taking out the battery, waiting forever, putting it back in. Also tried alt-caps-delete. It reset the phone, but then it went to the loading screen again. I talked to T-mobile and I have to redownload software and reinstall everything on my phone. Problem is I have no clue where the sync cable is. Looked in my Blackberry box where the instructions still are, looked all over my extensive collection of random electronic accessories. No luck. See, it's not wise for me to live without a cell phone. I don't have a land line, and my roommates are at work during the day so I can't use their phones. I have 3 jobs and a seriously ill parent. My part time jobs occasionally email me during the day and I answer them via the Blackberry. So yeah, I really need a solution for this. I'm afraid I'll have to dip into "Taking Victoria To BART for 4 Years Refund" from work and get a new phone. BOOO. Oh yeah I found my old Sidekick 3 and tried to use it, but it froze 2 min after I put in the SIM card and booted it. Now I remember why I got the Blackberry when I did. *sigh*
• Other than all those woes, life's okay. Brad's coming to work a little early so I can get a head start on grocery shopping. Then I guess I'll swing by T-mobile and see what needs to be done. Maybe they have an extra 8700G sync cable. If not I'm kinda screwed. Oh fun.
