I really don’t feel like doing art or knitting/crochet right now. I don’t want to do more cleaning or mending. I don’t want to learn music. Cooking involves cleaning and eating it or food waste. Trying to cut through hard plastic can wait.
CW learning medical skills
Currently learning to do a basic interrupted suture with a mattress needle on the cut skin of a banana (using tweezers in lieu of forceps and normal thread - don’t have anything like a needle holder. Maybe my mini pliers or clamps might work)…
Mad respect to doctors because this is not easy. The peel is so soft but inflexible that it’s hard to close the cut without tearing through the skin. Don’t get injured around me folks, because this is not mastered and I don’t plan to use this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WSYenn0tNhs
Might learn bandaging or mix it up and try more soldering practice next time.
I’ve been watching a lot of short form content and am trying to reverse the brainrot.
