sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug
i have been feeling indifferent towards things that i do not enjoy but have to because i am an adult
i have a joy in my life and that is all that matters at this point
not things that i do not enjoy
those things, they do not matter

I fell down a muskrat hole.
Today I went fishing while my wife spent some time with her friend.
I went to a local waterining hole and chose to go to a spot that I heard has largemouth bass.
I have caught largemouth bass throughout my life, and even at this lake, but not at this specific spot.
This was my 2nd attempt at this exact location.
I had some hits whilst jigging a worm.
I threw alongside the coast.
I flipped under some low hanging brush and trees.
A nibble.
I thought to move and carefully walked along the waters edge in my beat up Adidas flip flops.
I stepped onto what I assumed was grass but in actuality, was a big hole covered with grass.
I fell into a muskrat hole.
I fell down to my knee, that is how deep this hole was.
Time slowed down and I had imagined Alice in wonderland falling down the rabbit hole.
My landing was not as nice as hers.
I felt as if I was trying to avoid something in that hole but I did not know what it was.
My big toe led in a dark, then water filled hole.
My big toe landed right in the top of the mouth piece of an aluminum can.
200 lbs pressure into the top of that can.
I sat on my ass and lifted my leg out not knowing what I would see.
I saw my top half of my big toe (above the nail) chunkily hanging and starting to bleed a lot.
I rode my bike home with a blood filled Adidas flip flop.
I got home and cleaned it and it was not as bad as I had thought but still pretty bad.
I thought I could have entirely lost a toe when I was coming out of that muskrat hole.
The pinky for sure would have gotten it.
From peaceful to serious in seconds.

my first psychotic break
well, it may have been just my first panic attack but it was eventful to say the least
my heart goes out to folks who go through more serious things than i went through!

Today is a blog kind of day
ahem, yes, my name is Thomas and I am here to say, hello.
Hello.
Hope you are having a nice day!
Did you learn anything new today?
I task myself with 30 minutes each day to learn something new.
Have a good one!
