So, on the bright side of things, I auditioned for a role that I knew I wouldn't get and I didn't fall. On the not so bright side of things, my toe hates me. I had a little bruise on it before class and it didn't look purple. However, after pointe I took off my shoes and guess what, my toe is purple! Yay! It's been a real pain but honestly it is bearable and it is improving. I didn't do pointe today because I knew that would only further injure myself. Class was still hard even without pointe shoes though. Anyways, here I am, with achy muscles, a bruised toe and as tired as can be. Such is the life of a ballet dancer. It's not pretty, but it is very rewarding, just not at this very moment. I want to hear from you guys, have you had some weird toe related injury? What do you suggest I do about my toe (besides not doing pointe and icing it)? Anyways, as always, have a great day and just keep dancing! ~Mia
