The Pains of October

October has so far been painful in many ways.

My courses are crushing me, I had to speak some harsh words, and I got two minor injuries.

The first is this thick callousy layer of thing on my middle finger. like the top fatty part of it has a weird thicker patch of skin.

its not on my guitar hand so idk how it got there. its been there for 3 weeks now. I dont remember how I got it or where it came from. I just remember feeling it. Anyway I suspect it's from almost burning myself on the stove while cooking.

I also got this scrape and bruise today from when I was getting out of the swimming pool. I was too close to one of the lane ropes which explains why I have four cuts. The bruising comes from the ring that the rope ties to.
