It's all up from here!
Woke up at 4:45am as usual, took the dogs out, tried to get my fingers to move. Also as usual, they were locked up like they'd been dipped in concrete and allowed to dry. I get extra points for having a trigger thumb and ring finger!
I've been making my coffee ahead of time at night now because my stupid hands don't want to work in the morning to wash out the carafe and my single favorite mug and load it all back up again. I was too tired last night though, I went straight to bed.
I pulled off my compression gloves, and my copper wire splints, so I could wash out the carafe. I washed it and turned to put it on the counter but my fingers let go. It crashed to the floor and shattered in ways that approached comical. My vision is POOR but even I could see glass glinting in my low light, EVERYWHERE.
My husband comes out of the bedroom and immediately takes over. I had grabbed my little stick vacuum and was trying to keep my English Mastiff out of the kitchen when he told me to go take care of myself, I was bleeding. Oh. I looked down and there were drops of blood all over the floor, smears on the vacuum. Sighs.
My finger was only a small cut but I BLEED, it's fine. My husband cleaned EVERYTHING up, meticulously. My dogs minded me and stayed out. I don't get any coffee this morning, but hey, I ordered a replacement carafe!
The day has to be all up from here, right??

As dire as your circumstances were this a.m., the conclusion to your post brought a big smile to my lips. I could tell you are a "glass half full" kind of gal. How wonderful to see such resilience! Thank you for sharing.

2 ReactionsWhat a time you had! No coffee, and cut too! However it sounds like you have a wonderful husband who helped you and a well behaved dog! About the bleeding, regular table black pepper will stop the bleeding. Just pour it on your cut and it works! It may sting a little but not much. My mom used to put black pepper on my knees when I fell down and skinned them. My knees would stop bleeding immediately! I'm 77 and still use table black pepper when I accidentally cut myself. Good luck! I hope your new carafe arrives soon.
