Shamed into decorating outside by another thread (those darned reindeer pens! LOL), I decided to put up another strand of lights.
In the garage, I reached up into a box that I knew had outdoor extension cords. Two fell toward me; one had a heavy surge protector bar strip. And guess which one punched me in the mouth? Yep. It didn't knock a tooth loose, which I feared it had, but I tasted some blood. Now, I have a big lump rising on my upper lip! And it couldn't be on the other side, where I have a small deficit in lip tissue from a dog bite years ago. (My insurance wouldn't pay for the collagen injections the surgeon recommended.) I could've gotten FREE "collagen injections" if that had happened! Ok, it would have only last a couple of days, but, still...
I'll take injury-prone plastic surgery any day!
