confessions of an imperfect perfectionist

Confession 1.


I cut off the tip of my finger cooking dinner on Saturday night. I kid you not. A trip to urgent care, tetanus shot, and two near-passing out episodes happened. Wine, careless collard green chopping, and a freshly sharpened knife do not mix well.

Confession 2.



I have the most amazing family. During this fairly traumatic experience:

  • My mom coached me through the immediate post-cut procedures (apply that pressure!).
  • My boyfriend drove me to urgent care and held my (other) hand through the pain of wound cleaning.
  • My dad stayed on the phone with me while I changed my wound dressing to ensure I didn't pass out.
  • And my brother and sister-in-law sent me this finger guard in the mail last night. Hilarious (and practical, apparently).

  5. Oh no, this is every cook's worst nightmare. The changing of the dressing is the worst. Use this as a reason to try all your local take-out and get a professional wash and blow out. This is totally the time to be kind to yourself.
