Today , worst canning or cooking injury ever! i was making the super finiky black cherry syrup. i wanted to make sure it was thick enough to use on waffles. so i turned it up towards the end i am constantly stiring and its full on molten its not just boiling its foaming like crazy . so i start getting it into my jars . after hours of picking, pitting , then stirring i want every last drop! so i tip up the hot pan to scoop out the rest. i dont know what i did if i hit the side of my funnel or what. i feel a huge splotch of it hit my hand and i know immediatly im in trouble. i have burnt myself plenty of times baking , canning with steam usually i just put it in ice water use aloe and im fine. as soon as i put my hand under cold water the boiling hot molten sugar turns hard and brittle and is stuck on my hand . i know it has to come off so im scrubbing and washing and its like my skin liquified. i can see it being pulled off with the now hard candy on my hand. im thinking ohhhh sh*t this is bad but ask my son to grab aloe any tylonal . normally aloe is cooling and might feel sticky but it doesnt hurt. this was insane pain im almost throwubg up it stings so bad. i am looking at my hand and around the area thats burnt with no top layers of skin and is red and pissed its turning white and yellow. i gave up went to the ER. they said omg yah thats bad! so i got some cream and pain meds and have to go back daily for a few days so they can change badages and check its ok. weirdly it hurts some places but others theres no pain at all. where the pain is its super crazy bad. No blister! i think i went passed that. weirdly even non stick hospital grade stuff sticks to it.

I want to apologize for not posting back much. As of right now, I have VERY limited access to the internet. MY laptop had a bad battery, and we never bothered to get a new one, we just used the power supply/charger all the time. Well, we burnt it up. Have been waiting for what seems like forever for our new one to arrive in the mail. We live out in the middle of nowhere....ugh. So, every now and then, I can sneak my kids laptop. Three teenagers use it, so, only at this time of night, when I lucky, I get a hold of it. Hopefully, I will be back on mine ASAP! Then you all will get tired of me ;P LOVING all the pics! hey_j - Thanks! I love crickets, too! I love all bugs actually.....well...except for earwigs and June bugs! They freak e out a bit! Ha! Hope all is doing well with this extreme heat we are having!!! Stay cool and enjoy your gardens through the windows! :)

I had cataract surgery in my right eye. Supposed to correct for distance AND astigmatism. Paid extra for a "Toric" lens to correct the astigmatism. Nope. Still need glasses to correct for astigmatism. I see extremely little difference in 'color clarity' between the operated eye and the left eye. I think I didn't NEED the surgery at all! After all of that I went to Costco for my eye exam and glasses. I have close vision correction in the right lens and no-line trifocals in the left lens. First pair of glasses needed tweaking. No questions about repeating the exam and re-making the glasses. No costs.
