Why is it when you have to many things going on something happens? I was making such good progress this morning. Two batches of granola on to cook and I tried using the same idea only with popcorn. In the middle of that I was going to quickly wash the dishes I had dirtied. Quickly was my undoing. I managed to lay my left ring finger open on the pad with my vita mix. Did you know those blades are sharp?
Being the good EMT I was for 18 years I grabbed a semi clean rag and applied pressure as I did my dance around the kitchen. Once the dance was over I decided I didn't want to try to finish cooking and washing with a band-aid. So next best thing is super glue right? I even had a new package! I glued it shut and on with cooking. Trying to keep the finger covered in super glue from sticking to anything as it dries. I think it is dry and touch it, which makes it start bleeding again. FINE! I clean it and again super glue it, this time MUCH better!
Now I have this really mangled looking finger because of the way the super glue dried. Good news is it isn't bleeding, it isn't to sore. Best news is, I can still type! I am sure that it will be sore later.
I have two batches of granola made. Now to find enough gallon jars to hold it all. I remember now one of the reasons I haven't made any. My jars are all full of milk or at other peoples houses full of milk. I can use gallon ziplocks, but jars work so much better. I do still need to add the dried fruit. I don't even know what I have in the way of fruit to add.
As to what else I will do today? Baby my finger and whine? Oh, that isn't an option? How about read some more in my book. I am reading "Jesus has left the Building." So far I am enjoying it. I do understand what he is saying and agree with it. But then I am a rebel from way back :)
Tomorrow is a town day. Never fun! Add to that the HIGH tomorrow is 38 or so. I an sooo excited...NOT! The up side of it is that we have Heart to Heart tomorrow night. That means I get to hang out late with NO children. I even get to talk to adult women. It is always enjoyable to visit and catch up on what is going on with each of them.
Guess I have taken a long enough break. I better get my fruit in my granola and it in packages.
