Oranges

Oranges are the best thing. Unfortunately, orange preparation can be the worst. So yesterday morning I decided to watch the world cup USA play. But of course, mornings are the hungry nauseus time, so food prep was hurried. In this case, I decided to slice an orange...with a saw like bread knife! Three quarters of the way through, the tip of my thumb also came three quarters of the way off! So I ran to my bedroom to throw real clothes on, (tough to do one handed!), ran upstairs to raid the neighbors of their car keys (yup, found them!), and drove myself to the ER for stitches. Where everybody knows my name :) Yes indeed.
So after two hours of sitting in the ER, I was able to walk away with skin glue and bandages, no stitches. Then, to be on the safe side, I also got a tetanus shot. Which, KILLED MY ARM! So yay me. One thing right after another. Then, I went home, finished the soccer game where the USA FINALLY scored at the very final moments of the game, and then, I had to go to work :(  The first five hours of work was terrible, I couldn't move my left arm at all. The last two hours after I came home for dinner, well, they went better. Faster anyway. I came home for dinner and my wonderful husband made me peanut butter toast, cut a peach for me (wouldn't let me touch the knife!) and made me some tea. It's really nice to haev him back and not be going through this alone anymore!
