Stupid things I've done recently

Stupid things I've DONE recently, not SEWN recently.

 

I used my trusty electric weed trimmer last night and worked on one side of the fence.  It's going to rain the next several days and the grass is getting too tall.  I SHOULD have used the rider mower and done the whole back yard but had neglected the trimming lately.

So I went down the length of the fence on one side until the extension cords ran out.  As I turned around, my finger accidentally hit the very touchy switch and the whipper thingy (don't you love how I know what everything is called?) spun and ran up my leg.  

I'm sympathetic to the weeds now.

 Doesn't it look like a wild animal attacked me?

That's what I'll tell people...

It didn't even hurt, but I was so stunned, all I could say was, "Oh for crying out loud..."  I unplugged it immediately and started back up the hill collecting the cord on the way.  Put everything away before I went in the house to bandage it up.

 

Apparently...  Toilet paper on a wound with a long sock pulled over it is not acceptable as a bandage!  Who knew?  Robb says it's unsanitary.  But it was a new roll!  

Found out later after we'd stopped at the store for REAL gauze that toilet paper sticks to things and dissolves.  Ok, THAT'S not good....  

I'll stick with gauze and blue sports tape.  It looks like a sporting injury then.
