Retired Nurse Logic, Freelancer Edition:
Skipped Pilates the last two days. Still showed up to run club… on a broken toe.
No doctor visit, because why bother? I just decided the two toes on either side could pick up the slack. Built-in coworkers. It’s fiiiiine.
Honestly, freelancing feels the same way some weeks — one part of you is limping, the rest just keeps compensating until the project ships.
What’s your “other toes picking up the slack” move right now? 
(And no, there are no free feet pics. I’m not that kind of freelancer.) 🤣 🐾
