In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Writing Will Be Tough

After a short argument with a half inch drill motor last week, I was forced to admit youth and enthusiasm will now need to be replaced with age a wisdom. That and learning how to do many things with my left hand. The doctor thinks the cast can be removed in about four weeks. Then again, I do have a diamond blade for my Dremel, if the cast becomes unbearable.

    Damn, that had to hurt like hell. Bastards have a lot of torque.
    I can relate and sympathize, the worst is ya don't heal as fast anymore, sometimes it takes years now.

      I've had bits jamb, which pulled the drill motor from my hand.I don't know what happened this time, but the final result was breaking a bone in my palm. I knew something was bad when the pain started.

      Thanks. Me too, but the doctor thinks otherwise.

      It's almost amazing to realize how strong fractional horsepower tools can be,

    Ouch! Hopefully, you're not home bound. If so, lots of Irish Cream may help...
    Here's hoping it's only three weeks!

      The doctor said two weeks in the cast may be all that's needed. After that, a removable splint may be all that's necessary,

    Why do I see you getting even with the cast at some point?

      It was driving me mad, but time is making it easier to tolerate.

    Hopefully there's no comedy scene with a feather and you sleeping.

    Then you could have a black eye, too.

    Get better.

      Thanks. Wearing a cast sucks. I'd forgotten how much, since the last time I wore one was over 50 years age.

    ouch. just don't even think about how much you itch. Take your mind of that and think of something else (other than needing to scratch and scratch but cannot reach)... glad I could help
