I havent felt great lately so Ive been slacking on getting things made for Upcycled Gifts. I felt good today so out to the workshop I went! Im going along, busy as a bee– feeling great about my progress. I am polishing the bottom of cut wine bottles to make hanging lanterns. I polish them using a powerful belt sander and a fine grit belt. I have to wet the bottle and push firmly against the sander. The bottles get very hot and can shatter. I am eleven bottles into this task and that is what happened. The bottle shatters taking with it a large chunk of my index finger. Because I am pushing on the bottle, it also sends your knuckles into direct contact with the sanding belt. I was bleeding everywhere and felt panic coming on. I calmed myself, shut everything down, and headed inside to clean up and do a little first aid. I was very focused on not leaving a trail of blood through the house and was thinking to myself, Well, my day can only get better from here. That is when I stepped in fresh cat vomit and slipped my way into a complete wipeout in the basement bringing down a curtain divider with me. Blood, sweat, and tears– lots and lots of tears.
