Annals of writers dying from tetanus, I mean for their art

[petronia]

It is a good thing Yuletide is more than half done as today a printout of selfsame Yuletide damaged me severely when I reached into my purse just as I left the house and its corner drove into my nailbed argh, what does it look like to passing drivers when a girl is hopping up and down with her middle finger stuck in a snowbank. For such a minor injury it is DEBILITATING as my typing is at 1/3-speed and I cannot wash my hair or play with T's cat or cook until the tip of this finger can take pressure again. And I have a whole list of things I want to cook this December, from sushi to Hainan chicken rice to Julia Child's boeuf bourguignon.

Real life, don't force me to make a "bizarre injuries 2009" tag.

Fingers are remarkably fragile things, considering their absolute importance to just about everything.

A tough month for fingers.

Ouch! Hand injuries are never fun. As my hands are one of the main ways I interact with the world, I tend to think of them as one of the real "moneymakers" than the typical body part used referred to by the term!

Amusing: I bet Yuletide did not come with that warning label! ^_^
