what to do when in pain

I know I said last night that I wouldn't post until after the festival, but this is just to strange and funny to not tell my readers (i.e. the one person who follows my life tales). As mentioned previously I hurt my foot or a part of my foot on Tuesday, and last night my sis said that if it was still bothering me today she would make me wrap it up in .... wait for it ... onion! So here I am now sitting with my right foot wrapped up in six chopped onions, and the smell of it too! The sight is one of much laughter from both my sis and I. I mean, imagine a foot placed on top of chopped onion on a cloth then covered with more onion bits and meticulously wrapped up, placed in a small plastic bag for then to be covered with a relatively large sock. It ended up something like Elephantiasis or Lepricy (?). Several pics were taken followed by enormous amounts of loud laughter. I'll see if I can't put them up here once I get back home.
So for a couple of hours before we head out to the festival site I will be humping around in an aroma of freshly chopped onions trying to pack up my rug sack and get ready. Hopefully it will be worth it and the pain will be gone or at least diminished before we head. The foot will be essential for me surviving this festival, with all the mud and the fact that we're working in a bar where standing upright will be crucial.
