The Grinchies

Today was a crazy mix of happy holiday preparations, and the GRINCH. For most of the day I hung garlands, tied bows, finally got all the Christmas stuff out and up onto our walls. At 2PM I pried Rich off the couch and outside to help hang the lights. He wasn't feeling to good, since he's been very sick the last week - but I wanted to get the lights done while we still had light. Well we got the lights up and were testing them, when somehow...

I stapled my ring finger with the staple gun. Right into the flesh and the joint. It was GROSS. I was very calm at first, told Rich I had a problem, he took me inside. Then he pulled out the staple with a pair of PLIERS and I darn near fainted away. Then I almost puked. Then I cried a bit.

Now it's better, and with lots of ice and tylenol, I'm doing okay.

I felt a little grinchy after the whole staple incident, so I'll be finishing the rest of my decorations tomorrow.

Love,
Shan
