Note
Today was not meant to be. We went out and hacked down our Christmas tree, then I banged my head on the window sill as we were sorting out the room to fit it in. Then I made soup, sat down to eat it, and threw the entire thing over my thighs. It was exceptionally painful and I spent most of the afternoon/evening will ziploc bags of cool water on my thighs. The swelling has just about subsided now and it has left four blisters, but much smaller than I feared. I decided not to try to do anything else today as a result.
