Yesterday l was repurposing an umbrella type clothesline to make braces for my 30 year old fence which wobbles back and forth, especially in the 50 mph gusts we had yesterday. My hacksaw slipped and l almost removed divot of flesh from my thumb leaving a flap about the size of a fingernail. Because my AFIB leaves me vulnerable to a bloodclot based stroke, I take a blood thinner which in turn reduces clotting, and every time I bonk my thumb it bleeds a surprising amount for such a little wound. The bandage I am using to prevent this little mishap from gushing blood means I can't wear gloves on that hand which in turn means no bike ride in the subfreezing morning. I am a bit peevish to miss out on a ride, since it seems maybe one day out of four is unwindy enough to enjoy a ride. However, my fence seems to be doing ok.
Have any of youse enjoyed the Firefly series? It only lasted one season but I found it entertaining.
Today will be either a Quiche Lorraine or a pot of turkey soup made meaty with part of the Thanksgiving turkey. Whichever is not chosen will be on tomorrow's menu.
Be safe and well and hopefully not as clumsy as me.
