Today Sucks!

[bk_forever]

Today officially sucks! It started off okay - I bounded out of bed bright and early (okay, so I dragged myself out of bed after nine), but I got a load of washing on because it's sunny today, then i got the washing hung out on the line, just lowered my hands from hanging the last item and the new garden incinerator mum bought a couple of days ago was right underneath. It has a sort of chimney on the top, the edge of which, I discovered, is razor sharp. It sliced into the middle finger on my right hand, the side of the first joint, and gouged out a big slice! Took ages to stop the bleeding, I've got a big plaster on now, but my entire hand is throbbing and I can't use it to do... well, anything really. I'm having to do everything left handed, which is awkward, and I won't be able to do any knitting fora while. I can't even cut a slice of bread! I'm fed up =(

Oh, my goodness! You poor thing! *hugs you* That sounds terrible! Are you sure that you shouldn't have made a trip to A&E? Oh, dear. Just rest and take painkillers!

Didn't seem bad enough for A & E, don't think they could've put stitches in anyway, but it's certainly not fun. I can just about type now with my right hand (I'm a one-finger typist anyway, but I usually use the finger I've hurt), but I can't grip with my right hand because it would probably set it bleeding again! Besides, my finger hurts! =(

Honestly, surgery hurts less!

I've got my latest fic to link to the communities, stuff to be posted on Dreamwidth, everything is taking three times longer than usual, so I'm feeling sorry for myself *sigh* Even eating a yoghurt is proving difficult. I never knew how hard it could be to hold a spoon!
