Dexterity 3, or Soup 1, Redbird 0

[redbird]

I made myself a late lunch--vegetable soup, bread and butter, orange juice, simple and nourishing, suited for a person with a cold.

Sat down, reached for the soup spoon--and knocked half a bowl of soup over, onto the table, me, and the floor behind me. Aaack! Dashed into the bathroom and ran cold water over my right leg for a while, then switched to an ice pack.

Casual (semi)nudity has its drawbacks--denim would have been some protection for my skin.

It was good soup, though.

Could have been worse — clothing would have held more hot fluid against your leg longer.

"It was good soup, though."

I take it you got some inside, then?

With me it was half a glass of cold water earlier today, most on the ground, the rest on my leg.

Ack! Poor old thing.

Is it looking OK now? If it was very hot soup and there was nothing to protect you that might be a hospital level burn.

Get well soon!

It's looking basically okay--there's what looks like a centimeter-across blister, and a bit of other redness. I'll ask cattitude to look at it when he gets home.

Owiieee!

Oh, honey! I hope you're not too scalded! At least it was good soup...

"Hey kids, see this scar? I got this from some damn fine soup! And this one is from when I wrestled a East African Thwumping Moose to the ground after jumping on it from a moving jeep! And this one..."

(sorry. silly mood today. i hope your leg feels better soon!)
