Day to day stuff....a memoir without order.

I don't need target practice.
I had a really stupid stupid mishap yesterday! Our cardboard recycle has to be cut up into certain size pieces. To do this, I was using a box cutter, and geez, I dropped the thing...open of course...and it landed right in the middle of my foot, only thongs on. I looked at it a moment not believing what had happened, no pain, no blood, just a slit on the top of my foot. I hightailed it to the bathroom, grabbed a gauze bandage and began washing it off. Blood went everywhere. I kept blotting and blotting and it kept bleeding. I grabbed a box of large bandaids and limped to the bed, propped up my foot and tried to apply the bandaid like a butterfly bandage because the slit was gaping open by now. Between sopping up blood and pushing the skin together, I finally got the bandaid on. I ended up sleeping and reading most of yesterday with my foot propped up. This morning it hurts some to walk but thank goodness it was no worse than it was. Can you imagine? I don't think I could have done that if I tried, the point a perfect stick in the middle of my foot from a height of about 4 feet. Soooo dumb and unlucky. I think that ends my days with the box cutter.

until next time...c
