bandages

I got this nifty little box from Influenster a couple days ago and right off the bat, the first thing I couldn’t wait to try out was the New-Skin liquid bandage. When I workout, I workout HARD so blisters are a common part of life for me. Also, as a librarian, so are paper cuts. 😉 I can see that coming in handy when kept in my purse; as would be the to go pain relief. Sore muscles, you see…

As for the snacks? I don’t like yogurt at all. It all tastes like sour milk to me. :p I plan to pass that off to my kid, who I can get to eat anything once it seems. XD I am a fan of Vitamin Shoppe and I’m willing to give the Thin Biscuits a try. But honestly? It’s the first aid stuff I’m most likely to buy. ^_^

Seeing as how I recently burned myself, I have a new respect for flames. >_<

The story goes as follows: While boiling pasta for dinner, one hand slipped from the handle on the pot and scalding hot water spills on my thigh. Let me tell you, I have never taken my pants off so fast in my life.

Nearly a week later, now that the blisters have popped and the skin is healing, I have seen the why and the lesson fire had for me; pay attention. Life is here. Life is NOW. And if you aren’t looking, life will be gone. Or you will spill boiling hot water on your leg. :p You have to be present in every moment and celebrate it.

The burn was like a shock to my system. Despite the bandages and ointment and pain, I’m doing the things I enjoy with no excuses and having more fun with my family. In part, it’s guilt from scaring the begeezuz out of them (I screamed. Loud.) but my passion for life is back.

But my message to the universe is simply this: Less painful lessons next time. >D
