on huffing paint dust

i discovered today that you can inhale a lot more paint dust that you might think you can. we're repainting our house and i spent the day scraping our cedar shake siding. normally i might consider Doing The Right Thing and wearing some sort of mask to keep out particles, but today it was way to hot to be concerned such practicalities.

so i've got scads of paint dust packed into every nook and cranny of my upper respiratory system and i'm thinking that maybe a face mask wouldn't have been so bad afterall.

i'm sure there's no long term health effects to inhaling paint dust for eight hours. uh, huh.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
