Had lunch with a friend today. Ordered squash soup. Managed to spill a whole spoonful on my cast, and now there is an orange stain right smack dab in the center of my cast. And there is squash caked into the fiberglass weave. This is triggering my non-existent OCD! I just tried to use a toothbrush to scrub it clean and that definitely did not work. Now I am paranoid I got my cast wet and the cotton layer under the cast isn't going to dry and my skin will get infected and eventually turn gangrenous and my hand will fall off!
UUUGHH. THIRTEEN DAYS TO GO. THIRTEEN DAYS IS FOREVER.
The friend I had lunch with told me that as a kid she broke her leg during the summer and she somehow managed to get poison ivy under her cast! I told her that sounded like pure hell, and she assured me it was pure hell.
And my coworker (who rides horses) told me she's broken 10+ bones over the course of her life. Once, she broke her left arm and her right wrist at the same time! I was very tempted to ask her how she went to the bathroom with both arms casted, but I definitely don't know her well enough for that. (I'm trying to curb the inappropriate questions at work.)
I am also trying to focus on what doesn't suck, so instead of obsessing over the squash stain, I am reminding myself that: 1. I do not currently have poison ivy under my cast, and 2. My left arm is totally fine. I am so grateful for these things, and also I would really, really like my cast off. NOW PLEASE.

Wow. Horseback riding seems like a really bad idea.
Most of my fun in life is loudly asking inappropriate questions at work.
