As I mentioned in my post yesterday I have been making a serious conscious effort to not share everything on Facebook. For someone that had been used to posting several personal posts a day, it is hard. It is a conscious choice and I am not bound by it. If I want to start sharing again, in the way I used to, I can do it any time…or not.

Two things happened to me today that would have sparked posts on Facebook, but instead I will write about them in this forum.

For those of you who “follow” me, you know that earlier this year I had a mango vs. thumb battle in which thumb lost badly. I did post photos and my visit to the McKenzie Health ER department that my mother had to drive me to because it was a very bad slice through my thumb.

One of the not so funny parts of that event was that I didn’t have band aids in my apartment. The concierge came up with a first aid kit but wouldn’t enter my suite, so there we were, standing in the hallway while she was trying to stop the bleeding (unsuccessfully). Lesson learned, I now have a first aid kit and band aids. Which came in handy this morning.

I didn’t sleep well last night and was very tired this morning while making my lunch for work. I have been making huge salads for lunch every day, combined with homemade salad dressing. While cutting my cucumber…well, I don’t really want gross anyone out, but let’s just say, my “peter pointer” finger got in the way of the slicing. Thankfully an ER visit was not needed, but needless to say, I had band aids and poly sporin and have made use of both at work today. I am afraid to take the band aid off. I will wait until I get home tonight.

Fast forward to lunch time. I am sitting at my desk, enjoying my beautiful salad I made this morning and of course I dropped two pieces of lettuce on my brand new, first time worn satin top. Yes, if you know how to get oil stains out, I would love some advice on that. Stains are not something new to me, but I am in an office and putting water on my new shirt doesn’t really look that attractive.

Lunch time over…salad was very good. Need to find new things to add to my salad. My current additions are feta cheese and sunflower seeds. Shoot some ideas my way.

Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.
