R/R: I said this last night but I was on the phone alllll day yesterday. Everyone I talked to was so chatty. I got nothing done at my client, so I really need to focus today. The person I have with me really stepped up though and got through a ton of work. Picked up on my slack haha. Hopefully I can have a productive day today though. I’m not starting off well since I’m still in bed! Just really wanting to get through this week and get back in my covid bubble 😷

R/R: Gave myself a nasty burn on my wrist yesterday from hot oil. Thought it might be 2nd degree burns since I had some raised bumps 😬. Eventually I let water run on it for a good amount of time and slathered on the triple antibiotic and wrapped it in some gauze. Looks much better this morning with only the spots that got contact with the oil are red. Minimal pain to the touch so everything should be okay.
CS/Q: very pleased with my temp bump

@inthewoods23 I have a friend who is a pharmacist who recently got burned by her toaster oven and she said that putting aluminum foil on burns helps! Wild I know, but after a few hours her burn was almost gone and the sting had gone away.
@gingermama29 MH stayed up too late watching football and I was reading in bed until he came in so I in turn stayed up too late because my book was so good I lost track of time!

@bows22 I hope today is a more productive one for you. I deal with eldery people for my job and get stuck on the phone all the time. It is definitely worse now with covid, everyone is so lonely.
@inthewoods23 burns are the worst! I am glad it is feeling better this morning.
@krash_ the book nerd in me HAS to know what you are reading.
@dobbysfavoritesock I love any Christmas movie. I just signed up for the Lifetime Movie Club so I can watch more
@gingermama29 cutout cookies are the hardest for me. I had a meltdown last time and hubs had to come do it for me
@inthewoods23 hopefully you heal fast!

@baby_yoda1986 what are you seeing?
