Tip for the Day
Here is my tip for the day: If you happen to be happily singing along to Check on It whilst chopping red peppers and onions for a little fajita feast and the knife happens to slip and is about to fall to the floor - DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT cave into your automatic reflex of trying to grab said falling knife. Or the result will be...
Much blood.
Many screaming children.
A spouse who nearly passes out after insisting, "Here, let me look at it."
Long wait in a waiting room full of coughing, hacking, and a general germ-a-poluza to get stitches.
Yeah, so if you find yourself in that kitchen situation. Be smart, override you impulse to catch and let the knife fall - just make sure to jump back or you'll get your foot instead.

Okay, ouch?? Stiches on your hand, huh? That must suck.
Here's to quick healing. And maybe some good painkillers.
You know the flippin shot they give you to numb before stitching hurt worse than anything. No good painkillers, I still have a little piglet who is nursing. Bummer for me.
