speaking of hands
nope
its not a tattoo
its a boo boo
You know I am a klutz, right?
Well
a week ago
there was a spill in the office pantry
someone in a hurry
dropped a 'bowl' of cereal
dry cereal
I said
go go go
I'll get it
I've got a dust buster!
(I believe the ! is included)
Thing is
I have
a
dustbuster!
but
I had never used it
its easy enough
you turn it on
it sucks up the spill
except
it got full fast
apparently
the last person
to use it
didnt empty it
so
I open it
dump out the cereal
and
the other crap
its inhaled
put it back together
ummm
why isn't this going to close
let me force it
because we all know
forcing things
always works out so well
OUCH
YIKES
HOLY MACARONI
yeah yeah
we all know
I never said that
I went
JEEEEZECHRISTWHATHEFUCK
I bled
I bled
a lot
sigh
cleaned it up with alcohol swabs antibiotic cream and a big bandaid
then
I figured out
why the damn thing
wouldn't go back together
it seems
you have to put the innards
back facing a certain way
in order
for the two parts to close
GAH
That horrible gash on my hand
is actually improving
you shoulda seen it before
before what?
Oh
before
the
magic salve
helped it
J.R. Watkins makes this amazing hand and cuticle salve
this is the Aloe and Green Tea version
(it really is THE best hand/cuticle salve out there)
I got it at Birchbox
actually
that's the sample size
I belong to Birchbox
every month
they send samples
many of them
I pass along
this one I kept
and
because its such a great product
I bought a full size version
which is at home
the sample I keep at the office
so I can apply it
as often as I notice
its dry or feels itchy
don't want to pick it
don't want that scab to come off
before its healed
likely there'll be a scar
but
I am hoping
that the salve
helps keep
it from being
too awful a scar
of course
I could always pretend its a tattoo
No one paid me for pimping either J.R. Watkins Salve or Birchbox
