A day at home

[kareina]

 Other than waking up just long enough to take my morning vitamins with a single bite of a banana (as they are supposed to be taken with food), we slept in. A lovely lazy morning. During breakfast Keldor set the filter he had taken out of the aquarium yesterday into a pot of water and set it on the stove to boil. When I started cleaning up after breakfast he asked me to lower the temperature, so I did.

 

When the dishes were clean and put away he took the pot from the stove, swt it in the sink, and, forgetting that no one had ever turned the heat off, thinking that it had been cooling for a while, reached into the pot to grab the filter and wring it out. He manged to get his fingers all the way into the not quite boiling water and started to grip the filter before his nerves got their emergency distress message all the way to the reflex part of the brain to abandon that mission and turn on cold running water to cool them instead. 

 

After he lowered his skin temperature sufficiently i fetched him the burn ointment that a Blacksmith always has available, and he spent the day on the couch, applying more ointment whenever his fingers felt uncomfortable. 

 

There is no visible sign of damage, which is good, but he isn't interested in using that hand for projects today, either.

 

This is a shame, as we had planned to work in the attic on the insulation project to create an attic bedroom.

 

So, instead, I took the pieces of my silk bliaut short tunic and spread them out to figure out which pieces go where, and which one still need modifications to solve the problem with cutting it wrong. 

 

Over the course of the day I have even gone back and filled in notes in the still fairly new crafts section of this Obsidian vault, finding posts about some of this year's projects and linking to them on the project note, and pulling in photos, adding properties like start and completion dates, materials, catagories, etc. So now I know that painting the Living room ceiling stars took about a month and a half. 

Of course, none of those craft entries will show up on the github web page version of my blog till I am next at the computer to push them there.
