such excitement.

Wednesday night, whilst cooking, I managed to splash a few drops of the cooking oil on my wrist. Being the sort of person who has so well adapted to her infinite klutziness that she never actually seriously injures herself and has never, for example, been seriously burned before, the only reaction I managed to summon up was to stare at my wrist while BOILING OIL ate through my skin. Ha! I DEFY you, boiling oil! I care so little about you that I will NOT EVEN WASH YOU OFF MY SKIN!
Until I realized OMG THAT HURTS, at which point I started hopping around and clutching my wrist and yelling for a while, in the hopes that my antics would either a) magically make it stop hurting or b) magically reverse time so I never got splashed in the first place, as opposed to c) accomplish absolutely nothing.
Needless to say, that wasn't the cleverest thing I've ever done. Or not done, as the case may be. I now have three stinging red welts on my wrist where the oil attacked me. And I spent the rest of the evening trying to finish cooking without getting within range of splashing oil (read: anywhere in kitchen) or using my right hand at all. Oy.
Okay, yes, I realize that this is an incredibly minor injury. Leave me be in my exaggerated anguish.
