I’ve honestly had enough excitement for today. Good thing there is only 30 minutes left of this day. Not that tomorrow is going to be any different or that I have any plans, I’m just hoping my bad luck will change.
I did amazingly well on all of my finals. I’ll have to update ya’ll on a project I made decide to do or one that my professor takes under her wing to spearhead. Let’s just say I shocked the entire class and even her. She said she had never seen a presentation done so well, much less one that actually meant something or could become a reality. That made me feel great and it made me feel like I definitely exceeded every one’s expectations of my Business Proposal.
My finals wrapped up earlier this afternoon. Out of 4 classes I was able to pull off 3 A’s and a B. I was quite pleased with myself. No, I have not gone out to celebrate my somewhat big victory. I just might do that tomorrow afternoon with friends or wait and celebrate with MM when he has time.
I know Mom was a little worried with Motorcycle Man coming into the picture when I was supposed to be studying for finals and concentrating on the last leg of classes. I told her the only thing she needed to worry about was that I was going to school. So far, it’s shut her up completely about my dating life and hopefully it’ll last awhile longer. I’ve already asked her how her parents felt when she got married, she was Roomie’s age when that happened. She was my age when she was pregnant with me. As far as I know, I’m not getting married anytime soon and I’ll be 26 shortly. I’ve definitely surpassed the “normal” age to get married by miles on one side and I have a few years until I break the age on the other. We’ll just have to see how it goes. I could very possibly set the record on both sides as being the oldest to have not gotten married or had kids.
As for the bad luck part of my day. I decided to use the ingredients in my fridge to make some homemade salsa. I love salsa, actually I love anything hot and spicy. I came up with my own recipe last summer and it’s turned into a big hit for those who like to eat something with a kick. As I was slicing up the onions and keeping my fingers out of the way, just like Pops taught me to, I somehow took the knife right over my middle finger. I’m not sure how I did it. It happened too fast. I felt like cursing, but oddly enough, I didn’t. I immediately stuck my finger in my mouth and walked back to my bedroom for a Band Aid. Just as soon as I pulled my finger out of my mouth the blood started to really trickle. Actually, pour is more like it. I applied pressure, held my hand above my head, and even stuck ice on it. The blood really started to come out while I was trying to stop it. It was flowing quite well and actually started to run from the source all the way down my arm and drip off my elbow. This was a pretty serious gash, I’ve never had this much blood pour out from what looked like a paper cut. The bleeding finally subsided, I stuck a Band Aid on my dear ole’ finger, finished chopping my ingredients and then went to bed.
…..so if you’re squeemish about blood, don’t look. This is just before the blood really started to flow.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I need it to be better. No more household accidents please, this one is enough to last me awhile. Although, surprisingly, waterworks were not involved during this adventure.
So, there’s the reason for the stockpile. Hopefully I can come up with some tasty dishes I can pop in the microwave or oven when I get home from school & have a great healthy meal & no more fast food! I’ll post what I create this weekend, so stay tuned!
