Numpty alert! I was grating cheese and accidently grated my knuckle as well, good job I am married to a trained first aider.

There's a fix for that - when you get down to the last inch or so cheese to grate...just stop. You'll save your knuckles and since that small an amount of cheese is too little to put back, you get a nice bit of a treat to eat for your trouble.

Why, I've been known to grab an 8oz block of cheddar, grate off about an ounce, then (purely in the interest of safety, mind), eat the other seven ounces, just to be safe. 🤫
 
I'm on call this week and so I'm not sleeping well, because I'm half-expecting my phone to go off each night in the overnight period.

Last night (this morning, really), at 1:34AM, my phone went off - seven texts, all at once. 😧

I woke up, groggily reached for my phone, saw the little red "7," and thought, "Oh, crap, this is not good!"

Opened up my messages, and that's when I saw not one, not two, but seven notices from the US Postal Service that they had successfully received my earlier opt-in for delivery confirmation of a package I had shipped.

Seven texts, more than 12 hours after I'd opted in, to say, "Good news, we got your request!" 😒

It was almost a full block and I had only just started it.
 
Table and chairs were in the back garden ready for us to enjoy sitting outside to eat dinner, a couple of minutes before I was ready to serve it started to rain so TVC ran out and brought everything in. It then proceeded to pour down.

Going to have to have wisdom tooth removal by a dental surgeon next week.. yay. It's growing sideways and causing an infection. Sigh.
I have medical PTSD and these things just cause so much triggers. I know it will not as bad as my hamster brain tells me, but I still feel extremely anxious. Also not looking forward to at least two days of custard and soup 😒

I had to have all 4 of mine removed surgically when I was 15. I'll be honest and say i was pretty miserable for a couple of days, but then it was really nice not to have the pain or worry about it anymore.
 
It was chilly here this morning, about 55F. But, it is up to 72F now, which is pretty close to normal.
