accidents in the home

Wednesday night I was searching around in the duffel bag I had used for the weekend up at Grand Valley, looking for my toothbrush. I had forgotten about the Venus triple blade razor that I had left in the side pocket. You guessed it: catch of skin, slice of skin, sting of pain, drops of blood.
So. All those stats about accidents happening in the home - I believe them now. Never reach into a place you can't see. It's healing well...I'm just going to have this weird patch of missing skin on my index finger for a while. Hattie said that Laura also did something like this this summer, but that it was more about "testing" the blades to make sure they were sharp.
