This morning I was walking the dog and I realized a small rock had gotten into my shoe. With each step I felt it, I knew it was there, but I kept walking. We walked to the end of the block, crossed the street, and down the next block.
The rock hurt, but just a little. I kept walking. Once I stopped and tried to get it out of my shoe but the dog wanted to keep going forward and I had nothing to lean on. So it stayed.
But this entire 10 or 15 minutes I was walking with this stupid rock in my shoe. I was completely aware of it, it caused me discomfort, and yet I continued going.
I got home, took my shoes off, took a shower, went on with the rest of my day.
And now, almost 3 hours later, that exact spot where the rock was, my foot hurts. It hurts more than when the rock was actually there. Even though the rock is gone, all morning, it's felt as if it were still there.
