Don’t Worry - I’m Still Alive
August 10th, 2006
I can’t believe it’s been 5 whole days since I posted something! I know y’all were on the edge of your seats.
I do have an excuse of sorts, though. I injured myself. Not horribly, just enough to make typing a pain. Literally. What happened, you ask? Well, it’s the silliest thing….
After working out with DDD on Monday, I was making myself some pasta for dinner. I boiled the water. I added the pasta shells. And I set the strainer down next to the stove. About 12 minutes later, I put on an oven mitt, took the pot off the burner, and picked up the strainer with my other hand. Unfortunately, the strainer had been a wee bit too close the stove, and had turned into a whole lot of hot metal. And I had picked it up with the hand without the oven mitt.
My hand now bears some nasty looking blisters.
I could barely move my hand on Tuesday, and had it slathered up with Neosporin and bandages. Yesterday was still rough, but I dealt with it. Today, I was able to take off the bandages and not scare small children, so that’s a step in the right direction, I think.
And thankfully, my typing skills are mostly back.

Owwww! Maybe they should sell blog insurance for when you’re knocked out of commission like that.
