I just wanted to say to everyone working around garden tools: wear your safety glasses. I took a shovel handle to the head on Sunday afternoon. Hurt like heck. Would have broken my nose, easy, except I was wearing safety glasses that protected the bridge of my nose. The doc says I have a mild concussion. Good thing I did that AFTER we had the drain in! And it could be worse- a friend of mine just cut part of his finger off while working on his house. Yikes. My concussion pales in comparison to that!
In other news, my mother-in-law (bless her!!) sent us a rototiller. It came yesterday, and I'm really excited about using it. Hooray!
Moral of the story: beware shovels. They are just as dangerous, and apparently sneakier, than rakes. Maybe next time I'll wear the hardhat, too...
Dammit woman. We'll just have to wrap you in bubble wrap and put you on a chair. You're obviously delicate!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you were worried about my back...
I wouldn't wish the flu on you, or anyone else for that matter. Even someone I hated. Because it sucks. But now I have good medcine, which will ease the pain.
Have a good trip if I don't chat with you before!
What's this 'safety' you speak of? Remember chicks dig disfiguring facial scars, or so I've heard...
