Default almost cut my thumb off!

I have a fridge full of goodies, and no room left, so I decided to make a big pot of chicken soup. Get rid of a ton of veggies, and so on. MIL keeps the room so dark. I turn on the light, she turns off the light. I was using my veggie slicer and she turned off the light on her way out. I thought...oh well, im almost done, I will just finish this carrot and be done. OOpsie! Hacked into the nail part of my right thumb, slicked it down deep, but it peeled across the center of the nail. OUCH! My God that stings! Couldnt get to the sink, cause its full of stuff, and all the towels are soaked in whatever juice was being wiped up. You just dont appreciate how organized your space is, until someone else makes it their space. I grabbed paper towels and headed for the toilet.

DH freaking out, swearing about throwing out my veggie slicer, and MIL is giving me instructions on how to better slice veggies next time. UGH! I want to deal with the massive amounts of blood and check my wound before I learn about veggies of tomorrow please.

I cleaned it out very well using good antiseptics, and then placed it all back together. Since the nail lays back down over the wound I decided to not get it stitched. I made it super clean, and then used surgical glue on it.

im tired. i have been out of my schedule this week, and its hard to be constantly awake, alert and on the run. I am having a good time, but if I was going to do this full time I would have to put my foot down and change things. MIL is wonderful but has no concept of why I am tired, or need to rest, or why the hot apartment we visited made me go blind, and wobbly.

OUCH! it really stung! ever do something really stupid when you knew better? I KNEW I should go turn on the light. I KNEW I should have made more room to chop. I KNEW I should have done it my way, but I was trying to be nice, and not make waves.

UGH!
