Cuts and burns

Man, the weekends go by so fast. Friday night we had hot pot with a bunch of friends at Jason's house. There was definitely plenty of food to go around, though we had an overabundance of balls...fish, shrimp, squid, and shitake mushroom balls, that is. oooOOOooo, get your mind out of the gutter! :P Saturday, we hung out at home for most of the day, and then went to Sing and Maggie's apartment to swim and to grill some burgers; I had a very interesting salmon one.

And it doesn't help that it was a Wusthof knife, supposedly one of the sharpest knives there is. I didn't really panic; I just wrapped a towel around my finger and dashed to the medicine cabinet. I think that I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, so that's why I've decided not to get an epidural during labor. But then again, that is what I say now, we'll just see what happens when the time comes. Anyhow, as for the wrist injury...I was coming out of the bathroom at Sing's apartment on Saturday and for some reason, my left arm was up and I walked right into the thermostat.
