I had some potatoes in the microwave, baking in a plastic bag. The bag sealed itself shut so I stopped the microwave and waited for it to deflate, then I opened it. Big mistake. There was still plenty of pressure and the steam burst out and I guess I have a 2nd degree burn on my left thumb now. It blistered up immediately.

I immediately put it under running cold water and ended up doing that several times before getting some ice on it. Any time I’d take the ice off for more than 20 or 30 seconds, it would start burning again.

I had to go to the grocery store bakery (our only one in town!) to order a cake for this weekend so while I was there I got myself some stuff for burns and once it took effect, it really felt a lot better.

Hopefully this blister and stuff will go away soon! Eventually I’m going to need to do some dishes, and type with two hands, lol… Oy, but will there ever be an end to my stupidity??

Well, now it’s over. Except for the healing process, of course. I just hope it’s a speedy process. I have many projects I have to get done, some by this Sunday. I don’t feel like just sleeping, I can’t fall asleep right now, but I don’t feel like doing anything of any value, either. I’m just sitting here playing Packrat and thinking about switching over to The Sims 2.

Elijah had his ENT appointment at the same time I was getting my teeth out. My mother-in-law had to take him, if we didn’t take this appointment, he wouldn’t have gotten in until September 19! His tonsils are still huge but they don’t seem to bother him much. They’re scary looking, though. So the ENT (which is the same one that did his tongue last year) gave him three more medicines and wants to see him in another month. I guess then if they’re not down, they’ll come out.

So that’s where we stand. I can’t stand tasting blood all the time like I am but putting the gauze in really gags me. So blah. I hope it heals soon. They said I wasn’t bleeding a lot, the nurse kept acting like it was good.

But it was so weird. Before today, I’d never been put out for anything before (that I’m aware of). The last thing I remember was looking at the ceiling, feeling some, like, popping in my head (like when you stand up too fast), then I woke up in recovery. I kept trying to lay down and go to sleep and they kept holding me up. I was really dizzy and my face numb. But I think I was pretty coherent. Apparently when the nurse mentioned they’d give me antibiotics, I told her I wanted a Diflucan, too. I don’t remember that, but Steve says I did. I am bewildered though, that I walked to recovery, because I don’t remember that, either!

So, once again, I’m very glad it’s over and I’m praying I recover quickly!!

Elijah wanted more juice and had brought into the living room one of those little bottles from the cooler I had out at the fair today.  But he’d already had enough so I was taking it back to the cooler to save for tomorrow.  I walked into the dark center/dining room only to find out there was ice cold water all over the floor.  I slipped before I knew what was happening and landed with my knees and the whole bottom of my left leg on the floor and my elbows on the top of the cooler.  Instantly my back was killing me (and still is).

E came running around the corner and said, “Oh no!  Are you gonna died?”

I can haz near death experience, yay!

I can’t figure it out – what happened? He hasn’t hit his face on anything as far as I know… And, furthermore, he keeps biting on the darn thing, I keep telling him not to, but he just keeps doing it… :-\

And come to think of it, he must get that biting-the-lips thing from me because it seems I’m doing it all the time to mine.

What’s your stupidest bad habit you’ve passed on to someone else? Heh.

And what the heck is wrong with my little boy!?!?!

As for me, I’ve decided that I am going to change this domain name – and according to my host if I do it the way I am thinking it should be a fairly easy process (ie just changing links not having to reupload, etc.). However, I can’t decide what I want. I need something that is me and that I will not change for a long time. Normally I wouldn’t change this domain so soon, but I just feel like I need to.
So any ideas or keywords, please comment me. :-)
