At least the weather is cheering me up a little

Today was long and frustrating. I ended up having to skip all of my classes and spend most of the afternoon waiting in lobbies, only to find out that I can't get the forms I need because some people fucked up and some other people are on sabbatical and some other people are more inflexible than I thought.

And then I fell and scraped the palm of my hand, and there are still one or two little bits of grit embedded in the skin. They'll work their way out eventually, right? I honestly can't remember if that's how it usually works; it's been a long time since I've had this particular kind of minor injury.

There's this one little piece that seems to be under the skin and just won't come out, is the thing. I'm too chicken to try digging it out with a needle er some such.

The bath will probably help. Or, at least, soak your hand in some hot water, and let it get all pruney. That should loosen things up a bit, especially to the point where you can pry it out easily.

Am I risking infection if I wait till tomorrow on that? I have applied antiseptic already, but soaking would take a lot of time I don't have before bed.
