I noticed that in the last year, I have had to pull a lot of things out of Matt. Too many things.
Last year when we went to Scotland, we did a lot of country walking, and one night before going to bed, Matt realized he had a tick stuck in his shoulder! The shoulder is an awkward place from which to try to remove a tick by yourself, so who had to do it? Me, by tying a piece of my very own hair to the body of the tick and pulling it out. Needless to say, this was disgusting.
Now in the last two weeks, I have had to pull glass out of Matt's foot twice. We dropped a bowl a few weeks ago and thought we had picked up all the pieces, but of course you can never really be sure. I always wear socks or shoes when I go into the kitchen now. However, Matt refused to, on the rather pig-headed principle that a man should not have to wear socks in his own home!
The first time he got a piece of glass in his foot it wasn't very big so it wasn't too big a deal. It was on the bottom of his foot though, and I had to pull it out because he couldn't see it.
The second time, he got a much bigger piece of glass in his foot, and it started bleeding. I had to take it out, this time with my tweezers! And it was a pretty big piece of glass. Matt took a picture of the bloody shard, next to a fingernail clipper for scale, but I have decided that it is too disgusting to put up.
After the second time Matt decided to wear socks in the kitchen though.
We set this up to keep in touch with people we may not see for awhile. So keep in touch. We'll try to keep this thing interesting and updated frequently.

I still think a man should not have to wear socks in his own home! But I have resigned myself that we live in a fallen, imperfect world.
Soldier on, brother. I too abide by the same code. Though I find that a good set of slipper have never done me wrong.
