I believe my mom once had that accident with a sewing machine, the needle just went right through her finger nail and the other side of her finger... She still has a weird bump on that nail from the healing.
So yeah, I'm kind of scared of sewing machines too. And irons. My mom had countless burns from just being clumsy at work (it's part of the reason I absolutely hate ironing and won't touch an iron). Oh, and I think she once jabbed herself with scissors

Damn, Moi, that clumsiness really is genetic Or somebody cursed you with the gene of clumsiness Or maybe your family crossed that meat slicer and it wants its revenge

I tend to peel potatoes in my hand, so the knife "hits" my thumb lightly. It showed last time, 'cause I just sharpened my knives. But sewing is ok. In general it's hard to shove your fingers under the needle, but it is possible. Well, nothing's impossible I'd say. Never had that. I did get pins in my hand, the main reason I prefer holding fabrics together over pinning together.

Knitting needles aren't super sharp, I did get calluses at one point on my thumb, 'cause I used it all the time to push the thread off the needle. The troubles of handworking. XD

Blake is cute. <3

Sorry for being so inactive lately..... There's been stuff going on irl. Ash and I are looking for a place to move (our lease is ending on Aug 11th), on top of that he said he wants to live on his own for a month or two, so I'll be living with my mom, because I can't imagine living with granny again (especially I visited her not too long ago and I already could not handle the TV...). So yeah, stuff I wanted to slowly start things up for my business but I'm exhausted and my brain poofs on me each morning and only comes back to life at 10-11 pm when it's time for bed


Blake is a cool name, sounds like he's going to be a badass


About clumsiness, I'm not sure if I'm clumsy or what, but I bruise really easily, I have since I can remember. So I always have at least 2-3 bruises in random places and I have no ideawhere they came from So who knows, maybe I'm so absent-minded that I don't even notice if I'm clumsy XD
For example today Ash accidentally made a train of hickeys on my neck, and he really wasn't going hard at it. I look like someone wanted to strangle me or something XD

I wanted to get out of one of those tiny McD tables and bruised my leg. It just looks so nasty, especially with short shorts and I've been living in those last week. xD

How's the finding a new place going now, Mem? And how's the business going?

Ouch, those things just really hurt. It'd be ok if it wouldn't bruise so badly.

My mark from 1,5 weeks ago is finally fading. Wonder what the next one will be.

We still have to make the final decision. We found two apartments in similar location and for similar price. Ash is checking out the lease agreements with his step-dad (who's a lawyer). I think he's still looking at other apartments but I think he'll take one of the two.
So that's how that is going.

Regarding business, I'll still be working for my company for the entire August (ugh), and we'll be moving at the beginning of the month so I don't do much business-wise. I try to read and that's basically it for now. I hope to start doing more after we move in August. Although I fear I'll be napping everyday after work, like I do these days. That job is exhausting
I'll get some money for my unused vacation days... yay... (I'd rather go use them out, but my supervisor got cold feet -a.k.a. he's shitting his pants- and he wants as many people at work as possible because he doesn't have replacement for me, and now it's vacations season, everybody wants time off work, etc., and my team has too much work and we can't keep up, lol).

I'd love to vent about how pathetic that company is but I'm too tired to think of words and make sense of them XD The HR girl is a pain in the ass, I'll only say this much.
