Burninated

This makes the third time I've burned myself on the boobs. It's not like they really have that much surface area so I don't get why this is such an issue. Last time it was boiling hot tea down the front of my shirt, and the time before that it was boiling hot lentil soup down the front of my shirt. This time was slightly more interesting and gross.

I was heating up some wax in the microwave, because yes I do my own... waxing. And our microwave is on top of the fridge because that's the only place we have room for it. I heated up the wax just slightly too long and it was completely liquid, rather than still kind of viscous like it's supposed to be. I didn't know this when I took it out of the micro and I spilled it on myself, primarily landing on the left side of my left boob. It hurt but I didn't think it was really that hot until I applied the fabric strip to pull the wax off (fastest way to remove it really, since it's super sticky) and took off a good deal of my skin with it. Joel went and got me some Solarcaine (bad idea! Do NOT spray lidocaine where you don't have any skin left. Oh god, it burns ussssss!) and some big bandages and surgical tape, and now I have a big bandage all taped to my boob. At least it's not where you can see it this time, when I have clothes on anyway. Not really into the side-age look I guess. I can guarantee there will be a dark colored scar there for a year minimum. I can still barely see where I spilled the tea before, and it was over a year ago. Maybe two.

I'm actually surprised it doesn't hurt that bad. Keeping it covered and protected makes a huge difference. I am a huge weenie with burns. I usually have to keep ice on for the rest of the day in order to even function. This time I just went ahead and did my waxing, though it was rather painful till I got it bandaged up. So the moral of this story is ... what the hell is wrong with me?

I did finish up five Art-O-Mat blocks tonight though. I really need to get a bunch of those done. They ran out a really long time ago.

I need to get some sleep now. I'm so very very tired. And I have to work from 9 to 11 tomorrow pretty much. I got a second job at a particular big box retailer that really likes the color red, and I have to close there after I get off my other job. I have an hour and a half in between during which I fully plan on getting lunch/dinner at Panera Bread. But Wednesday I don't work at all till 4pm. So there will be some sleeping in. I just have to get through tomorrow.
