Today was day 4 of extreme foot pain (I had a procedure done on Friday), and I was ready to go crazy. I am soooo tired of canceling plans and missing out on fun and sitting on my couch instead. My fabulous friend Sarah came and kept me company on Saturday night, which helped a lot. And my parents took me to lunch yesterday (to Adobo Grill, where they have valet), and that was nice as well. But today was so beautiful, I wanted to go out and DO something.
Nina came to the rescue and invited me over to lay out on her deck, which is on top of a high rise. She even offered to park my car for me since I can't walk very far. We laid out, made fajitas, ate sorbet, and watched Sex and the City. Best of all, I even procured some Vicodin, so now my foot is not throbbing in pain; it's just a dull ache.
I decided to go home a little after 11, and Nina said she'd walk me to my car since she'd parked it pretty close. And when we got there, it was gone. She'd unknowingly parked in a tow zone. This time, she did not fall on the ground laughing as she usually does in situations like this. But we still laughed about the fact that we had to make an expedition to Super Lower Wacker late at night. It sucked because it's hard for me to get around with my foot, but at least I didn't have to pay. I feel so bad for Nina. It sucks how a simple mistake can cost you $250. But the car is back, and the whole ordeal was relatively hassle-free. There was a couple there whose car had been towed, and they needed to have it towed somewhere else. That ordeal was costing them almost $400. So it could have been a lot worse.
