HotHotHot

We’re having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave…

 Reached 97 yesterday, prediction for today: 105

Had my first airconditioning injury. I was preparing for the heat by setting up my airconditioner yesterday and the window the AC unit is in was jammed, so I gave it a little encouragement. And sliced open the tip of my index finger, and possibly giving myself a tuft fracture. Dripping blood everywhere I ran to the bathroom and ran water over it. Here’s the embarrassing part: the trauma junkie got light headed and had to lay down, feet elevated, before she passed out. After a  couple of minutes I got back up and fixed my boo-boo ‘cuz I don’t need no stinkin’ doctors and went merrily on my way to way to work. At work I helped fix 1) A lacerated upper lip that had chunks of flesh missing and gravel was imbedded, and a torn up leg with more of the same. Both injuries considerably more gruesome than my little finger boo-boo. What a pansy I am, the sight of my own minor injury caused a vagal reaction. I should have told myself to cowboy up, like I do the weenies in the ED that wimp out. I certainly deserved it.
