About Confuzzled and junk

General
So. its almost confuzzled. I'm hoping to get there some time on Thursday but that now might not happen.
My husband was in a car crash and whilst he's okay (and so are the other party) it pretty much wrote our car off. we're hoping to get it fixed but the earliest it can get fixed is thursday...so...we dont know exactly what time its getting fixed but yeah..thursday sometime. *fingers crossed....OH speaking of fingers.... *beautiful segue, Star, really stunning...*
I also today managed to slice the top of my thumb off...again. It was quite funny actually. i did it a little while ago and healed pretty nice, then today, I was cutting a bagel for lunch with the same knife that had maimed me a few months before and was thinking..ive gotten really good at using this knife, i havent cut myself in agess......ow.
it literally went exactly like that.
I think this specific knife has got a taste for my blood now, so i think i might have to throw it away in case it finally manages to end me.
but yeah left thumb is suddenly a little bit shorter...not sure if thats gonna impact my guitar playing ability as I have an hour long set to play on the saturday evening at confuzzled...um...i guess we shall see.
I've also started using trello again to organise my commission queue. I used it a while back and got all tangled up in it, but actually its a pretty useful tool so if people wanna keep an eye on whats going on you can see my commission queue and to-do list as such here
https://trello.com/b/l2kL4BUR/commission-queue
i'll try harder to keep it up to date.
I also started the task of fixing all the various shine pages. Marellis is now called Marello so that shouldnt mess with speech bubbles too much and now hes kinda a dark purple with grey markings. I'll do allll the pages and then upload them all at the same time so it doesnt confuse anyone who may be reading from the beginning.. Im currently at pg 226 so probably already half the way thru what i need to get done.
Still feeling mighty weird about all of that and not sure i want to process stuff until after confuzzled.
At confuzzled ive promised myself i'll be putting all the real world junk that's going on around me at the moment to one side and just shake all of that off for a few days. im looking forward to just being in that bubble of positive vibes and good feelings and really if anyone sees me i am absolutely up for hugs, head patts, butt patts and just yeah i really wanna throw myself into the vibe. i'd also love to please be patronised/talked down to like a kid..i am really missing any kinda of littleness in my life at the moment and my tank is so running on fumes that i'm kinda weirdly desperate/needy for that kind of contact, and confuzzled might just be one of those places that maybe hopefully i can connect to that part of me again...just for a moment...before I hafta go back to adulting. I'm just so so tired of all the adulting right now, I really need a break so confuzzled couldn't have come at a better time.
looking forward to seeing folk there.

As for your thumb... are you using a bread knife for cutting your bagels?
And if not... when was the last time that knife was sharpened? Because dog knows that dull knives are far more dangerous than sharp ones. :X
And while I cannot go to Confuzzled, being an ocean away with no time off left this year, I sure wish you and everyone there a wonderful and SAFE time.
And I wish you all the littleness your little heart desires and craves. :3
That really sucks about the car too. Good luck with getting it fixed as soon as possible.
Have fun at confuzzled. ♡
And then May 4th drilled through my left thumb near the tip with a #40 drill. Missed the bone thankfully, and could have been worse given what day it was. (Random lightsaber attacks, Ewok ambush, you know the usual).
>.<
Im sure the trip to the con will help give some good relaxation and fun. <3
Also for your comic, thats pretty fast! Already on page 226?! :o
I think you should stick with spoons only from now on, no more knives, and I would trust forks as well! Hope your thumb heals OK.
Lets make confuzz the unpopable bubble of positive vibes! ^^
You might want to try using a fork to cut your bagels, poking it in along the edge until it separates. Or a serrated bread knife. They make bagel slicers, too.
I don't know if it's available in the UK, but there's a salve called "Bag Balm" that's great for healing cuts and other wounds. It's actually a veterinary product used for chapped teats on dairy cows, but they now sell it in places like Walmart. You could probably get it online. It's got petroleum, lanolin, 8-hyrdoxyquinoline sulfate 0.3%, and paraffin wax. It's kind of a thick gel that's great on any cuts, scratches, chapped skin, rashes, or wounds. I swear by it, as a farmer--I joke it can re-grow lost limbs. One of my sheep tore the skin on her face, and in a matter of weeks the wound had healed with daily applications of Bag Balm. I've been using it for thirty years. It comes in an eight-ounce can that ought to last you forever.
If you can find some, it will help heal your finger.
