Vance and I just got back from a walk-in-clinic. I got 2 deep stitches and 6 outer stitches on my leg. Not thinking wisely, I left our largest knife on the counter, instead of putting it away after using it for dinner preparation. While picking up a plastic bag underneath the knife, it sent the knife spinning off the counter. I jumped back but it still cut my leg, and sadly made a big cut in my favorite work pants from GAP. Although cuts are not fun, we're grateful it wasn't worse!
Maybe I should milk this wound for all it is worth...do I need a wheelchair? Time off work? Someone to bring me meals? A cold washcloth for my forehead?
Other than the mild drama for the evening, everything has been going great. Vance was involved in a large grant for the Mechanical Engineering department. We are expecting to hear back from graduate schools soon as well. We've had some GEORGEOUS snowfalls recently. Vance has been enjoying occasional intramural or pick up basketball games with friends. I've been getting into shape...differently this time. I have been in the weight room in addition to some cardio exercise. Hoping to max out soon...just kidding. Work is going great. Several students have made large leaps of progress at school, which is very rewarding.
