with every touch, pain.

I was bored last night at around 8pm, and decided it would be a good idea to go out and do some work on The Cat. Well one of the things I did was change the oxygen sensors, this turned out to be a major pain in the ass as the back one is stuffed way down behind the engine with nowhere near enough room to work on it. So in the process I managed to get the little tiny asbestos fibers from the insulation on the firewall imbedded in my arms up to the elbow. A shower last night helped a little, but every touch still hurts.
I was also amused at my hyperfocusing. I was so intent on getting hte O2 sensor changed that I completely failed to notice the temperature dropping to around 30Deg F, with me in only a light flannel with the sleeves rolled up. But once I finished the work, and started her to confirm that I had done it right, I was immediately shivering so violently I could barely hold the tools long enough to put them away.

Turkey Day today. All sorts of family coming either for dinner or just dessert. I get to watch the circus that is my family's interactions with each other.
But Darkover this weekend should make everything much better. Maybe I can cage a couple backrubs for the muscle in my back that has been sore since last saturday."
