And today, I learned that you should never force anything into a glass jar. I have nine stitches in my hand to remind me. I also briefly had the superpower today of making any normal space look like a gruesome murder scene, instantly! But I am fine, mostly. I am going to be left handed for a couple of weeks. The guy who stitched me up was so good, he matched up all of the lines in my palm, so future fortune tellers can make accurate predictions. Now Bad Ass Husband (who recently hurt his own bad ass when he fell down the stairs) is cleaning the house saying, "man, you got blood everywhere!" Gross. I'm sorry. It's true!
I don't know when I will be drawing again. I have to go the hand clinic and get the thumbs up. Memorial Day is hands down the worst day to find a specialist who's willing to get his hands dirty. I could try to make some puns at this point, but I'm not feeling handy.
As one who once lopped off a fingertip and also has about twenty scars on my hands, I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteLeft-handed drawings might have their own special charm.
Ouch! That's nasty! Put some palm oil on it.
ReplyDeletePalm oil is for that, right?
Deletenow I just have to know . . . what were you trying to force into a glass jar?
ReplyDeleteI was putting wax in it to microwave. The wax was slightly too large. As I pressed down, the glass broke, and all of that force exerted onto the wax was now going into stabbing my hand with a glass shard.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, sounds super painful.
ReplyDeleteBummer, but then ... some terrific raw materials in this whole thing for writing (or drawing)!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww... Must be really painful.. Sorry!
