A few minutes ago, I was washing dishes.<\/p>\n
Not, for the most part, a particularly hazardous activity. Except when a plate decides, without warning and without obvious cause to suddenly shatter into four pieces.<\/p>\n
There was no impact; I didn’t drop it. The water wasn’t that hot; my hands were in it. I was simply holding it in one hand, scrubbing with the other, and then suddenly I was holding only one part of it, and I was bleeding. A lot.<\/p>\n
They are, thankfully, all minor cuts. Like, "band-aid and ointment" minor. It could have been a lot worse. But there are several of them–thumb, wrist, forearm–and they were all pretty free-bleeders. (Especially the thumb. Thought that one would never<\/em> stop.) And this was a dirty dish that had been sitting in the sink, so antibiotic ointment was not<\/em> optional.<\/p>\n There are, of course, those would say that I probably shouldn’t be aggravating them by typing up this entry. Such people are clearly neither authors nor bloggers. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n So, yeah, it hurts–again, the thumb especially–but I’ll be fine. It was certainly rather a bracing experience, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few minutes ago, I was washing dishes.
