Today, for reasons I still have yet to figure out, I used my free hand to grab the top of my Chi hair straightener after I had finished smoothing it out for church. This resulted in instant searing pain and slight blistering. That Chi gets HOT. No problem, I thought, I'll just run my hand under cold water. That seemed to work, except that immediately upon removing said hand from the cold water of deliverance, the burning pain returned.
I was running late for church, so I just put a couple of bandaids on and hoped that would help. It did not. 20 minutes into the church service my hand was hurting so bad that I had to leave. I've always thought that I had a pretty high tolerance for pain. Now, I know that if I were held captive and tortured for government secrets, I'd probably squeal like a pig as soon as they so much as lit a match around me. But not one infected with swine flu. More like a perfectly healthy pig who just happens to be very clumsy with a hair straightener.
Anyhow, after some neosporin, a healthy portion of gauze, and some ibuprofen, I'm ready to get to work on my papers.
