I’d be on the 15-day DL.
Decided to forego knitting during Em’s nap this morning, and instead worked in the backyard. I pruned back the lilac bushes and whatever the bushes at the back of our yard are. The lilacs had grown quite a way into the neighbor’s yard (and I hadn’t noticed, because, well, I can’t see through the bushes!), so I wanted to get them trimmed up back to our property line.
Didn’t have any gardening gloves to wear, because they were all still soaking in the sink in the laundry room from last week. So of course, I got blisters on my right hand.
5 of them aren’t too bad (yes, I have 6 total), but the one on my ring finger popped before I even noticed I had it. It really hurts!
I think I lost about 5 pounds out there though. It’s so hot & humid, I sweat it all away!

Goodness! You’ve got to be a little more protective of your hands – after all…what’s more important? Pruning or knitting?
Hope they’re feeling a bit better.
Hope your hands are feeling better soon!
I love lilacs!
