Just brilliant...

Just saw a BBC news headline on the website - what does rosemary do to your brain?

My first thought was, whatever the fuck she wants! Don't mess with her, you'll just make it harder on yourself. I think maybe I should read some fic about bunnies or something for a bit.



Also, this morning I managed to gash a fucking hole in the bottom of my foot. It bled like a mother but it seems to be okay now and I can walk on it okay. I was wondering though, what's the best way to get blood out of a carpet. The thing was pouring for a bit and it's everywhere : (

Oh and Lily's being super sweet about it and coming up and sniffing it gently everytime she goes by! It's the cutest : ) xx

Ii would get a toothbrush I wasn't using anymore, put a bit of dish soap on it, tap on the stain with the brush and then pat off the residue. The main point is not to use warm/hot water. But maybe there's a better way? I'm not really a pro at cleaning :P

Awww! sweet <3<3 I'm glad the wound has stopped bleeding. Take care to keep it clean so it doesn't get infected. That would be the worst :P

You're so handy! This is so helpful! ♥

The thing about using saliva to disappear blood spots made me laugh a bit though. I would have been tempted this morning but I dont think I have that much saliva! Gross! : ) xxx

Hey! I was spot on*grins*
Thanks:)

I knew there was a trick to it - I think it was the cold water only thing - so that sounds good to me : )

I washed it out with some TCP which usually works. I'll do the same tonight and tomorrow and just keep an eye on it. I'm so annoyed with myself! I know it couldn't be avoided but still..grrrr! xx

Club soda will bubble a lot of it up so you can use folded paper towels to blot it dry. Use a small cup and pour directly on the spot (s), then blot dry. If it's a pale beige or white rug, hydrogen peroxide will make the residue foam and tell you where to pat or clean further. It'll strip or yellow the color though, if the rug is colored.

Also, how up to date is your tetanus protection? Nicked my foot on a carpet tack once and it blew up overnight like a mofo. Boo shot, yay no dying of tetanus!

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Ooo tetanus is a good point. I thought I'd leave it til tomorrow as it seems to be healing okay and then see about calling the doc. I had a good feel around it but I'm always worried that something might be stuck in there when I do something like this to myself.

I'm such a clutz : ) xxx

A spot-remover I've tried with good results on clothes is equal parts liquid dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. With a toothbrush (or even just with fingers) rub it in well, blot with a towel, and then wash as normal. Worked okay on carpet (just be sure to rinse otherwise the soaped area gets sticky).

Thanks for the tip Hun : ) xx

Ouch - you take care of that foot , and yes, Tetanus shot might be a good idea.

I know I should get it sorted...every time I ask though they tell me not to worry about it. Not that I want a shot but it is disappointing : ) xx

Take care of yourself and especially your foot first!

Cold water immediately is the way to go, but it's too late for that.

Normally I would have done it straight away but my foot wouldn't stop bleeding. I had to lie down with it up up in the air like a turtle : ) xx

Lady you have the worst record of injuring yourself of anyone I know *hugs* take care hun, especially of the hole in the foot! xx

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

Oh Hun...I think the last two years I've actually been relatively injury free! I am a clutz though : )

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Clutz is pretty much how you'd describe me, I mean how many people do you know can knock themselves silly on a car door TWICE in one year? lol! xx

[big-heart-june.livejournal.com]

Aww man :(( hope you're healing up okay, my darling ♥ *squeeeeeezes you* ♥ TAKE CARE OF YOU, my Pink!

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

It feels fine, My Pink! A bit sore but okay when I'm wearing my trainers so it's all good ♥ xxx
