Let's get this out of the way first:
( More than you ever wanted to know about my name. . . )

Alright, now that's over with. Time to talk about my adventure today. Teri, I know stuff like this makes you squeamish, so you might want to skip this part.

In Floral Design we were doing formal centerpieces with candles, and I was snipping the head off a rose when I got bumped slightly and ended up snipping the top of my middle finger on my left hand--cut a nice little flap. At first I couldn't believe what I'd just done, but then it started bleeding profusely, and I had to go get the teacher who ran for the First Aid kit (not the first time a thing like this has happened, I'm sure). While she was wrapping my finger I started to feel light-headed and my hearing started going out, so I hurried and sat down. Once my hearing came back I attended to trying to get the bleeding to stop. About 15 minutes later it did, and I continued with my arrangement. :) It's beautiful, but my teacher thought I was crazy.

Anyway, after class was over I went to the library and asked if I could miss work to go to Instacare (not quite the emergency room--it's for minor emergencies) to see if I might need stitches. They let me off, of course, and my sister drove me over. Instead of stitches, they used that new glue. It's supposed to last for ten days. It had been more than 5 years since my last tetanus shot (when I sliced my finger with a rotary fabric cutter in 9th grade), so I got one of those too.

So now I've got this big bandage on my finger, which is actually making it rather difficult to type (so excuse any typos, please--I've already used the backspace button more than usual, and since it's my most-used key, that's saying something). It's certainly going to make testing Triple Swing tomorrow an interesting exercise, to say nothing of typing my term papers.
