Awww, Sam! Ouch! I’m sorry! Be sure to adhere to the don’t lay down rule! I fell asleep on the couch once while on such meds and burned my esophagus. Sounds like you deserve a treat. Get well soon!

HOLY SHIT IS THAT WHY. I thought maybe it had some kind of sedative effect.

Are these also the no dairy for an hour before or two hours after? Sounds like the big guns

She said no milk, but I thought that was because it was iron-rich...

Get well soon. it's a bit of cognitive dissonance to think that you've been writing about Prowly and cat gourds while your finger is hurting more and more. Take your meds and pray to the healing gods

I mean, I’m often mildly wounded in ways I don’t bother to bring up until/unless they’re funny, like the Leprosy Of 2004 (it wasn’t leprosy but that’s what I called it). I’ve almost always got cuts or bruises or whatever, so I really didn’t think much of it until it just wouldn’t heal and I realized that while the pain was a normal level for a wound, the wound itself wasn’t normal -- so I said to myself, if this lasts another week or the pain gets worse, I’ll see a doctor, and sure enough the pain got worse. 

Right this minute I have the finger cot on my little finger but also two injuries superglued shut on my right index finger and left-hand middle finger.  (The doctor checked those too, they’re fine.)

Thank you for not going to a pharmacy and asking “does this look infected?” because we techs as well as the people in white coats will always, without fail, say “yep better get to a doc” Also, good luck on those meds! The water part is super important. Don’t...don’t skip that. Bad if you do.

Holy shit WHO DOES THAT. Like “Hey I know I’m not paying for this but could you just give me a professional opinion real quick in the middle of your working day?” WOW.

jesus!!! so glad u caught that in time. prospect of bad-ass four finger yakuza hand still not worth it

I never realized how much I use my right pinky until I couldn’t. I use the right shift key exclusively, so I’m typing a lot slower since I have to remind myself to hit shift with my left pinky, and it misses part of the time.

SAM! Just- sam! How did you infect it that badly?? I ask as the queen of slicing up finger with art which is not exactly a clean environment. Feel better soon!!

Might have been the nozzle of the superglue tbh. I don’t know long that tube was in my craft drawer.

Have the sisters seen it yet? Are trying to figure out why dad has this on his finger?

Not yet! I bought it on the way to work this morning after seeing the doctor. I will report in, for sure.

What does 2x1 mean.

Well, in cross-stitch you stitch across one “square” of woven fabric, generally, but if you want to make larger stitches you stitch across one square but down two squares. At least that was my assumption, I just realized I have no idea how I know that.

That looks awesome! I’m going to tell you a secret my mom told me about doing shadows on colored object, cause it changed my life! You can add the complimentary color to the shadow on the object and it will pop more. So like adding a little green in the shadow will make it pop! You are progressing so fast at this!!!

Thank you so much! I'll remember that about the shadows. In fact, knowing me, I'll probably dink around with this a little more until it's better or I break it. :D Still, all that crosshatching work I did this week paid off!

I read it for a long time, I’m not up to date but I like how complex it got, especially character relationships. But the format can also fight you reading it, which can be a fun challenge or a total drag depending on how you are feeling that day

@prettyxellos I admittedly get easily frustrated with websites/stories that are difficult/confusing to navigate.

Interesting I have dyslexia and was wondering how dysgraphia and dyslexia are deferenchiated. Looks like I stumped spell check hope it's understandable

ah differentiated, yes. so, Dyslexia and Dysgraphia are in the same family of learning disorders, but are not the same.  simply, -lexia is about problems with reading, and -graphia is about problems with writing. 

Dysgraphia is characterized by illegible handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning and spelling, difficulty writing, and/or thinking and writing at the same time.

Dyslexia on the other hand, is characterized by dysfunctional reading fluency, decoding, comprehension, spelling and other visual processing troubles.
