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.

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.

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.
