OK, I’m back, the dog is walked, I have my whites in the washer and I’m about to eat some soup.
It went well. I’ve left auditions feeling a lot better and I’ve left feeling a little worse. I usually don’t allow myself to get upset about these things either way because it’s such a random thing, I’m not famous and I mostly go out on things that are one in a million shots. But I’d really like this part. I’d like to play this character. I’d like to be in this pretty brilliant movie. I’d like to pay my bills next month.
I will tell you what I’m pretty pissed off about, though. My new boots, the ones I got over Christmas? I wore them for the second time last night, and as I got a little tipsy, I failed to realize that my tights were creating the kind of friction that makes big ass blisters.
You guys? I got a blister the size of a fruit roll-up on the bottom of my foot. It SPANS MY FOOT. Ouch, right? So then you wanna know what happens? I am walking my little potato bug dog and all of a sudden, I feel something POP in my shoe. POP. Then my sock and shoe floods with blister juice. I don’t know, I guess it’s liquid puss or something if you really wanna get in to it. When I was a kid I thought it was ocean water.
I don’t know how I’m supposed to walk on you Foot, but you better let a sister know so she can move the fuck on with her life.
The best thing to do (in my professional opinion) is stick on some Fixomull to protect your feet and promote wound healing. Fixomull is a porous, adhesive non-woven tape and FANTASTIC!!!
It should be available at any decent* pharmacy. Your feet will hate you if you don’t get some. Seriously.
*Indecent pharmacies might only sell the imitation Hypafix. I think Fixomulll is better but Hypafix or any similar product will work.
