Dumb!

Here is a picture of the dumbest thing I've done all year. After I finished mowing and trimming my mom's lawn, I saw one tiny little patch I'd missed next to her fence so I fired up the trimmer again just to get that one patch. I realized I could get it better if I pushed the fence (chain link) out of the way with my foot, but when I did so I forgot to keep my leg/foot far enough away from the target range. I learned first-hand (as if one needed proof) that trimmers rotate quickly. It didn't cut deep, but it cut quickly and painfully. But never fear, I worked through the pain for another moment and got that stupid patch of grass. Then I hobbled inside and took care of my injury. This picture was actually taken two days later so the cuts are blending together. It looked worse the first day. Worst part was that it was all due to my own stupidity. How embarrassing!
