I've been gimping along for the last couple days.
Wednesday I took my car to a shop in the city. It was a weird issue so I was willing to pay the premium that comes with going to a dealership. It ended up taking most of the day so I just wandered around Edmonton's west end for the better part of 6 hours. The problem was that I stupidly grabbed a comfy pair of loafers instead of decent walking shoes,
Within a few hours one foot started hurting and eventually the ball of each foot was one massive blister. By this time, I had gotten lost in a fucked up residential area and spent over an hour finding my way out, with each step being absolute misery. I don't uber and there were no taxis around so I just gritted my teeth and kept walking. By now my legs were cramping and getting sore in other places from walking weird. By the time I picked up my car, even pushing the clutch hurt.
I managed to work half a day yesterday, and most of it was spent out in the gravel lot where every stone caused more pain. I shut it down at noon and this morning I let the boss know I wasn't going to be in.
I may slip down to the river at some point as once I'm set up it's mostly stationary but even that sounds like more misery than it's worth. It sucks to waste a weekend but it's all my own fault. What a dumb thing to do.
