Umm, so I literally woke up with a broken foot. I thought I had tendonitis, and they were like, “Yeah… you actually have a stress fracture.” Cool. And their response? “That’s just what happens when you get older.” Sorry???

So while I ice my foot and emotionally process aging, please go have fun for me. Maybe enter to win tickets to Martin Lawrence or Avatar while I dramatically limp around Manhattan for the next three weeks.
