a little sympathy, please

As I was rushing around my bedroom this afternoon, barefoot, I wanged two toes of my left foot against a chair leg.  I know, just stubbed toes, but it hurt sooo bad.  Now one toe (the one next to the little toe in case you're interested) has turned a darkening shade of purple.  It reminds me of one of those wierd grapes I described yesterday.  It's an interesting sight but give me a little credit here.  Although I'm fishing for sympathy, at least I haven't taken a picture and posted it on Facebook.  I do have my limits and wish to retain a little dignity.
