You may have noticed that my posts have been…slightly more sporadic over the last week or so.  That is because I am a complete idiot.

It started out innocently enough.  It’s cold and rainy, I’ll make some soup.  So the soup needs some chopped carrots, and I decided to use the vegetable slicer.  However, the carrots are being uncooperative, so I decide it would be a good idea to get the carrots out by putting my finger into the vegetable slicer.  It was a good idea until I cut myself.  And about 30 minutes later, I found myself in the emergency room at 10:30 on a Saturday night in need of s0me stitches.  Thankfully, it was just a couple stitches but still, stitches!  While my right hand has been functional, it hasn’t been as functional as it normally is.  Partly because I didn’t want to do anything weird to my stitches, but also because when it comes to needles and stuff, I am the world’s biggest baby. 

My Poor Finger!

It’s really hard taking a picture one-handed, especially when the hand taking the picture is the one you don’t use on a regular basis.  I somehow managed to not use my finger, which is a small miracle, but it’s better now, especially since my stitches are out.  Using my now better finger is weird, since it’s been a bit since I’ve used it, but it will be back to normal soon. 

It made me glad I had some posts in my queue that I had been working on and had no idea what to do with.  I’ve been (mostly) unproductive, spending my time watching the travel channel.  Mostly because I was bored with the history channel and there really isn’t anything on in the middle of the day.  I did watch the USA network a few times though.  Plus, I caught up on a lot of the blogs I follow, since I could manage that one-handed. 

I’ll be posting a few book reviews over the next few days, since I did do some reading.  Plus, I’m itching to cook and bake, especially as I found a lot of stuff I want to try.
