#i have gauzed it so as not to look at it
Text
we have colors! not as bad as i was a lil afraid of based on the bruising around my fingers, but that was just a compression issue. we also don't get to look at The Thing for more than like three seconds because apparently in the last ten years stitches make me wanna pass out.
#hate deeper tissue stitching actually#i am gonna have A Scar#a very stupid scar to add to my collection of stupid scars#i can just. feel my whole hand though dude might actually cry about it#god i am not looking forward to this for the right hand BUT the difference between them now is insane#wound mention#idk ask to tag im trying not to be specific lmao#i have gauzed it so as not to look at it#problem solving#need to go buy actual tape the stuff in the cupboard is not meant for this specifically#txt.me#need a tattoo that just says 'don't forget your text tag'#real memento hours in here

hey babes remember this project
(yeah neither do I it's been months and months) (who wants to make a wool coat in the height of summer anyway)
But! The last weeks have been rainy and too cool for July/August, and reminded me that autumn is right around the corner and Christmas will be here sooner than I think.
I actually finished weaving sometime in spring, I don't remember when exactly; didn't make an occasion out of it. I made 3 lengths of fabric total
... which, as it turns out is Quite A Bit! Look at that stack :) You have no idea how satisfying it was to hold all that in my arms.
Return of the King for scale
Each of these is about 55cm wide, and 230cm long which is insane, considering that I started out with a 4.5m warp. Granted, about 40-50cm of that are wasted on the loom and another 10% or so loss has to be calculated in (because of course the warp doesn't stay straight, it goes around the weft which means it becomes shorter) AND the threads being wool they have a lot of stretch to them. But still, that's a lot of shrinking, for a fabric that's still loose enough to fray. No wonder clothing was valuable as fuck, it's not even the amount of work that goes into it, but the portion of that work that's essentially wasted. And if I had wanted to make a tight fabric, an actual broadcloth, I would have had to calculate in a lot more shrinking.
I finished this in the washing machine (I think 30°c with no spin cycle and no detergent? But I'm not sure about thaz, I forgot 59nwrite it down I think). Then I gave each piece a lanolin bath. I may have overdone it a little? Some of the wool feels a tiny bit - well not exactly greasy but soapy. Whatever. It does improve the wool's hydrophobic properties and makes it feel a little softer.
And all the pieces fit!
This was very satisfying
I did not, however, have enough of the lilac linen that I originally wanted to use for lining. So I bought another fabric, the only one I could find that I liked: A very, very lightweight brown linen.
The listing: This is very light and transparent! Me, opening the package:..... oh wow, I didn't know it would be this light and transparent
I hope it will work. There's only one way to find out.
That's all I have for now! I have cut out the front and back pieces, and now it's just sewing, sewing, sewing.
#I am determined to finish this thing this year#I actually quite like the linen gauze the wool is already so heavy it might b good to have smth that doesn't add much weight#& i still have the lilac for pockets#wizard bathrobe adventures#crafts#look what i made#handweaving

#cw animal injury#i turned on the lights and our dog is covered in blood like??? hello???#since when were you doing that and why didn't you tell me??? *cue frantic searching for gauze*#there's a big cut where his ankle meets his leg (inside of the hind right leg)#i have no idea how that happened#our dogs play rough but have never drawn blood#and he was outside alone and he was acting normally and not whining or anything? like speak up man i need to know this shit#his name is bunny btw and he's a big dog. purebred great pyrenees(?) if the ppl we got him from are to be trusted#i don't know how he got hurt#its way too big/deep for a cat to have done it and even if they're really upset they just paw at his face#my only guess is that there's something sharp in the yard? but it's too dark to look#idfk but we found the gauze and stuff and he did Not like that process good thing there were 3 ppl awake to hold him down safely#he still didn't whine through all of that though like. pls speak up man. we gotta know if ur in pain so we can fix it#i'm hoping it doesn't get infected. we don't have money to go to the vet but he's my sister's dog and she might actually kill someone if#he isn't fine#she has a theory that he may have gotten cut on smth our brother threw out there and like. she may literally kill him if this#was his fault and bunny isn't fine#so far he seems fine there wasn't too much blood and there seems to just be the one cut#but i didn't hear him yelp or whine or anything#and he didn't seem to be limping but the lights were off#idk man but we have cleaned him up as best we can for now but it is the middle of the night so we'll see what we can do in the morning

sometimes i think about when copia got his plastic surgery and his face was all covered in bandages for a while (i don't know how long it takes plastic surgery to heal) and how i still wanted to be affectionate with him but since i can't kiss his face i just end up kissing him everywhere else,,,
#also i know that i was kind of against the whole plastic surgery idea in the first place#but hey. if it would make him feel more confident/happy. it's okay#and also. i'd love him regardless of his face. i mean it's certainly a plus that he looks so attractive pre and post plastic surgery#but it's about him as a person you know#anyway. just having thoughts about that today#just trailing kisses up his chest up his neck and pressing ones along the edge of the gauze around his chin#my honey bun 🖤#what do you have to say doll?

Boys are done with school with their half day Thursday. I'm working at their field day all day Wednesday. So I get today and tomorrow for my last quiet days before summer.
And T wipes out real bad on his bike on the way to school and was a half hour late.
#watching your kid wipe out is one of the scariest things my mind was going a million miles an hour as soon as he was going down#'oh god he's going to hit that sewer drain okay no he's not but he's going to break a bone'#*jumping off my bike as it's still going*#'he scraped along the ground for so long oh good the neighbor's yippy dogs are barking really loud he's screaming so loud a is so concerned'#'oh lord is something broken what's the worst thing why is the inside of that scrape white is that bone or tendon or#apologize to the yippy dog lady it's good they haven't attacked a yet'#'a is asking you a question answer him now keep getting thad to settle down enough to breathe'#'also make sure YOU'RE breathing or you'll have a seizure oh look the neighbor'#he actually offered to walk a to school which was amazing#and t was able to slow his breathing down and m made it outside#i rarely take them to school it's m's thing to do but he was struggling to get moving#so he cleaned t up i rode up to mee and thank the neighbor and called the school to let them know t would be late#so its almost 10 and ive barely done any work and i started at 730#his pinkie was the worst injury by far not sure exactly how if he got it caught or what but he said it wasn't feeling broken#gauzed and buddy taped anyway#ripped his shirt shoulder and scraped up his knee hip thigh and shin#years. these children take years off my life.#not sure how baseball will go tonight.

ER doctor after I got the cut on my finger bandaged up: so the stuff we put on that gauze should keep it from sticking to the wound
Me, two days later attempting to soak a rock-hard piece of gauze that has strongly adhered itself to said wound off of my finger:
#to be fair regular gauze ALWAYS sticks to any injury i have#i was supposed to keep that bandage on until tomorrow but it was so painful i couldn't sleep so i took it off early#so no more looney tunes looking bandage#injury mention#shut up bri#ask to tag#sorry if this is super gross

I was so prepared for this morning
#i went on my first 15 min break and one of my managers got a big gash on her hand#my other manager was freaking out and i remembered i had some soft bandages in my bag#bc i always wanna be ready for anything#so i went and grabbed it and grabbed a gauze pad and wrapped it up for her#and thankfully my work had gauze tape bc i didnt#yet my work doesnt have gauze???#well anyway#so i bandaged her up and my first break is already half over#i was called paranoid by all of my coworkers at my old jobs. ALWAYS. For being prepared#well whose laughing now#...ok no not me that bitch looked painful#but i came in clutch w that bandage#i think she needs to see a doctor but my word isnt good enough#it doesnt look like it needs stitches but speaking from experience it looks like it will scar

Omggg I didnt realize how bad my fear of blood actually was (I will pass out and get sick if I see blood like thankfully period blood and like small cuts don't bother me, but when I sliced my finger 3x one summer (I'm no longer allowed to use the mandolin) I got so fucking ill that I could barely call out for my mom to come to the kitchen)
Anyway It's so bad I can't even read ab it without getting squeamish and sick*. And I knew that even talking ab it/hearing people talk ab it I'd get sick, but I didn't think it extended to medical conversation of like red blood cells and shit 😭
I was watching that WIRED video ab people on twitter asking a hematologist ab blood and I got maybe to the 3rd question (whichever one was the one where it was like "what the fuck is a hematologist?") and I was so throughly grossed the fuck out (the talk ab arteries gushing blood nearly took me out) that I literally had my head down trying to not pass out or even LOOK at my phone bc it was so bad 😭😭😭
I know most phobias are rooted in your brain protecting you like it's not NORMAL to be up high, or fly, so heights and planes are scary to some people bc the brain is like "hey wtf?? Get down????"
Or even clowns, it's the brain being like "this isn't what people are supposed to look like. What is this? It seems off, we should be scared"
And that the blood thing is bc blood should not be outside of your body (except for menstruation) so your brain is like "put that thing back where it came from or so help me"
BUT COME OOOON 😭😭😭
*also by get sick I mean I get nauseous and hot, not anything else
#marquilla#i knew this girl in hs who has this phobia and i thought it was soooo stupid that she would gag when we'd be discussing shit in science ab#blood but oh god i get it now i get it#i cant look when i get blood drawn bc i WILL pass out and feel like im gonna die and i have before passed out shhdfhhffu#im suprised i didnt when i was getting blood drawn in urgent care and the lady walked away to get gauze and i was shooting blood out#of my arm and was like um... ma'am... as im trying to not pass out. whats funny is she had put paper towels down under my arm bc she was#the second person they brought in to try to stick me and they were like just in case! and i OVERSHOT IT BY A MILE not a fucking drop on it#i was dying on so many fronts ahhshshs

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT but now the ITCH Z#fuck me i guess#ive triple bandaged it. if that doesnt work gauze oads#pads*#its not nearly enough to warrant stitches even tho it looks. really fuckin nasty and its like#inner wrist. iykyk#my boss is a sweet mom lady and is freaking out and im like#maam. its ok#i have my tetanus booster up to date#(and also im insanely mentally ill so this is fine. but i didnt tell her THAT)

#shblr#sh blog#baby cvts#selfharn#self mutalition#text#sh#mine#gauze looks so much cooler and might be cheaper?#well bandaids would be cheaper in the long run if I didn't have the urge to slice more and more area lmao

I like sliced my hand open a tiny bit at work today but we didn’t have any gauze or any good bandaids so I just slapped six of the bandaids we did have on it and put on two gloves for the rest of the night
then I get home in search of my bandaids (which are actually less helpful because all I have are Cars 3 bandaids) and am delighted to find the gauze I saved from when I had my wisdom teeth out
it looks a little dramatic but when the alternative is covering my hand in bandaids, I’ll take it
#so says Indy#day to day with Indy#sliced is the only way to describe it because it WAS a slice#but the like#hole isn't that big#it's kind of a hole#it didn't bleed that much either#I tried to pinch it back together while someone else put the first bandaids on but that didn't work#anyway the real saviour appears to have been the two gloves#and also the toilet paper I stuffed in them to make sure the bandaids stayed put#my landlord probably has bandaids downstairs but since it didn't bleed that much I'm not going to look for any#I have a lot of gauze I barely used it#when my teeth came out#I just don't want it to keep splitting open along the rest of the cut#I don't know if that's possible but I think that would be bad

So it turns out that wearing a bandage for 2 hours and having it make your arm feel like its covered in fire ants for that entire length of time is not in fact normal and means u have an adhesive allergy.
#i got used to just ignoring shit like this as a kid and just assumed that bandages tend to make your skin itchy/burn from them irritating it#which like they can a little bit from friction but bc my pain tolerance is already fucked up a little bit for me is like a above average#amount of pain.#anyway im 25 and apparently a bit stupid#i got bloodwork this morning and they slapped a bit of gauze and a single strip of adhesive over it and the adhesive left a perfect bubbled#up rectangle on my skin. anyway i just connected the dots bc i realized this morning i made an offhand comment to my mother abt how#i hate getting bloodwork bc it hurts after and she was like???? that isnt supposed to hurt??? so i let it drop#and i just sat here and peeled off the bandage and went oH. this is what my sister mentioned happens to her and she has a diagnosed adhesiv#allergy.#oooohh.#my 20s so far have just basically been me realizing that im allergic to many many many things#i legitimately look like i git mauled by fire ants
