Stupid Human Tricks

In addition to softening butter in the oven, I learned something else not to do today: don't use a utility knife before six in the morning. That lesson cost me five stitches to learn.

I was breaking down a box to take out with the garbage this morning and I managed to cut my left index finger up very nicely. I figured I needed stitches (since it wouldn't stop bleeding all over the place) and a tetanus shot (since I couldn't remember the last time I had one.) I went to the Urgent Care facility here in Leesburg and got it done.

The Lidocaine shots before the stitching hurt, and so did the tetanus shot. But what really hurt was that my blood pressure is up and I need to lose weight, now. No Christmas cookies for me.

Especially if they come in a box.
