Today I attempted to make my first-ever tomato soup, and instead ended up performing an unplanned kitchen triage. While opening the can, the metal edge created a clean linear laceration across my thumb. Nothing deep, but thumbs are highly vascular, so it produced a disproportionately dramatic amount of bleeding. I had blood on my phone, the counter, the paper towels, basically everywhere except the soup. I managed it with direct pressure, elevation, and cleaning once the bleeding stopped. It’s now bandaged, painful, but stable. No signs of anything serious, just a very offended thumb and a bruised sense of dignity. The soup attempt will resume once my hand stops acting like it’s auditioning for a medical drama.

Soup: 1

Ace: Also 1, because I’m still eating soup tonight.
