I found a bottle of sesame oil in the fridge, thought to myself "oh, I must have put it there by mistake when putting away groceries last time," and after letting it sit in the cupboard for a few days, I went to use it to fry my tofu in. But when I heated it up in a pan it bubbled and boiled and foamed, and when I decided that was not on and tried to wipe it out of the pan it was sticky, and then a large drop landed on the back of my hand right at the knuckle and burned me badly enough to raise blisters, which have since burst, so that's... been FUN, given the need to wash my hands approx. fifty times a day, not to mention the vastly increased risk that is going through life right now with an OPEN WOUND on my dominant hand. I think I may designate Partner to bring in the mail until it heals, which is my chief interaction with the outside world rn, because I need to go grocery shopping again next Monday (a week from tomorrow) and it definitely definitely needs to not be a problem by then.

in the meantime my dad's decided that now is the ideal time to tear down and rebuild the entire back porch of their house. hooooo
