Happiest of birthdays to my best girl, my leading lady, my diamond in the sand…! The one and only…

@onewngdseraph!

I hope that your day is full of joy, peace, and mellow! .

You truly are a calm, clear glow in an often dark world, and I am humbled and grateful for your loving friendship. You are one of the best of us.

Been sick a lot lately, so I'll take any of your Hawke and Fenris - they make me so happy. :)

WIP #1 - "smile" and WIP #2 (if I may) - 21. who does the groceries?

I'll do the second one first! 21. who does the groceries?

Oh my goodness, when it's just the two of them? Fenris does by a million miles. Hawke is too much an impulse shopper and a terrible magpie; if she had the Home Shopping network in Kirkwall she'd be well on her way to becoming a hoarder. Orana and Fenris are both needed to keep these impulses in check. Fenris, on the other hand, has superlative discipline and is too grouchy to be out-bartered in the market; he'd come back with every quantity exactly correct. Plus Hawke would get distracted having conversations about nothing with everyone and never make it home again.

That said, I don't think either of them would particularly enjoy it, so as long as they have Orana and Bodahn, they happily let them take care of it.

Now, "smile," hm? 119 results, I'm afraid, and "there are too many results to show here." Let's see if I can find a good one.

Lady Flora, however, approaching at the same moment from the opposite hall with two baronesses and a minor earl at her flank, let out an unladylike scoff. Fenris met Hawke’s eyes. She lifted a brow; he shook his head; she smiled like cold iron and turned away. He gritted his teeth. Flora caught her look and covered her own smile with her fingertips, insensate to the danger.

Definitely your bold colors. Most of your pieces feel so saturated? Full of bright, vibrant shades. Also, your noses are always so lovely. It doesn't matter who you paint, I always end up loving their nose. ^^

i love bright colors that sear my retinas, its just so eye popping and beautiful to me I try to use them whenever I can, though there’s a lot of trial and error finding ways to use it appropriately so that it works with the entire palette.

Thank you, noses are wonderful and I’m glad you like them; all my OCs have pretty amazing noses and I just can’t get enough of those da2 elve’s high bridges; I will work that into all my elves forever pretty much

I have arrived safely at my final destination! Currently a six year old is making me toast to the dovakhiin theme song.

Last session of your 2.5year DnD story, where, during campaign we got a three new careers, two new babies, a doctorate, and a house.... let’s hope my cleric survives!

Regarding wounds: if someone has a cut along their ribs (beneath the arm, not very deep), but it is roughly an inch or two long, what is the best wound treatment you can do, without having a needle and floss, or a hospital? (Ie. home care in order not to deal with hospital records/police report).

Seraph...Is there something you’re not telling me?....;P

Assuming, we have hospitals and police records, we’re not in a medieval or fantasy setting, and we have modern bandages?

Wash your hands.  Wash your hands.  Wash your hands.  Though TBH, if your healer’s hands are free of cuts/scrapes/opportunistic points of entry, they probably don’t even need gloves (we can talk about this later), just clean hands.

The absolute best thing you can do, if you already have bandages is to clean the wound, keep the wound bed moist to allow proper cellular migration, keep it covered so it’s warm, and make sure you keep breathing deeply.  Deep breathing is going to be a paaaaaain, but deep breathing will 1) keep your lungs cleared and prevent complications like pneumonia as well as 2) ensuring your body is getting well oxygenated, which is super important for healing.

Leave the bandages on for 2-3 days without uncovering/replacing them. This does not mean you can’t check the wound, but as long as your wounded person does not have a fever or chills or other signs of infection, you don’t need to keep uncovering the wound. This exposes it to bacteria/viruses, cools it down, which can slow healing, and is just uncomfortable. The only time you need to change the bandages is if the wound is weeping excessively (as with infection/poison) and at that point, the adhesive won’t stick.  If this is the case you’ll know much sooner than a day.  If the wound edges are macerated (this links to a page with graphic images, but if you don’t want to see that, just imagine “pruny fingers” after too much time in the shower or in a pool and how they get pale and wrinkly- same thing) that is the ONLY time that a wound might need to “air” out.  The rest of the time, the body WANTS moisture. Cells and new growth cannot move in a dry environment.

Gonna take a second and double down on proper wound care.  If you know me, you know my feelings about gauze.  If you don’t know me, hi, pleased to meet you. F*** gauze (and yes, hospitals still use gauze today.  It’s a terrible decision that is “cheaper” than using a proper bandage, but it actually delays healing and becomes more expensive than if you had just used a proper bandage to begin with).

Hope that helps!  To @onewngdseraph Is Nerissa OK? :P

Cheesecake is a good solution for any situation. ��

YES.  And this one is actually coffee-based with this kind of subtle toffee-shortbread crust, man it’s good....  I guess I’ll eat it today since I never got around to it yesterday O_O
