This is a photo of Bossy taken yesterday. Except it’s not really Bossy, and she isn’t in a full body cast. But she did injure her left index finger when grating ginger on Saturday night. Bossy understands this doesn’t sound like much of an injury, but believe Bossy, it isn’t:
Still, it makes typing a challenge, especially since Bossy learned when her gays were visiting last summer that Bossy is in fact a pecker.
Oh not that kind of pecker, silly Bossy — but rather the kind of pecker who types utilizing the two index fingers only. To make the situation easier to understand, Bossy will now write the previous sentence skipping those letters she would otherwise type with her injured finger:
But fear not, because when it comes to recovering from a grated finger, Bossy has been told it heals quickly. Of course Bossy was talking to herself at the time.
And while we all wait for the healing with bated breath because we thankfully don’t know what bated even means, Bossy would like to draw your attention to the new Far-Flung Correspondent in the bottom of the left column. If you aren’t reading these college tidbits written by Bossy’s son, you should be reading these college tidbits by Bossy’s son!
Thank you, and see you tomorrow.

October 18, 2010 at 8:31 amCriminy, Bossy, don’t scare me like that! My poor heart just about stopped at the sight of that first photo! Glad it’s just your finger. Hope you got a band-aid and a sticker

Deb says
October 18, 2010 at 10:03 amI have a chandelier just like that.

October 18, 2010 at 10:22 amBossy, I knew that wasn’t you, you faker! Last time I looked you had a neck! Those finger injuries really hurt. WHERE in the heck is that chandelier? I could see me surprising the husband with that hanging in the dining room. Somewhere, there’s a chandelier maker with a warped sense of humor!I want one.

October 18, 2010 at 11:32 amAn appeal to the Bandaid (brand) Adhesive Bandage Company: Send Bossy finger-size supply pronto, preferably from the Comfort-Flex line.

October 18, 2010 at 1:02 pmThat chandelier is HILARIOUS.
Reeb says
October 18, 2010 at 4:01 pmI love bandaids, and I love the drama of the full body cast in honor of the hurt finger. (A friend just put super glue on some sliver-cuts from her cooking mandolin, and I wonder if super glue would help protect your cut as it heals. After it hurts like hell putting applying it.)
And, ALL of what #7/kathleen said.
Reeb says
October 18, 2010 at 4:02 pmSomehow “putting applying” isn’t what I intended to type there.
In your honor I”m having severe typo issues as I type and retype this simple message. 25 corrections for 2 sentences. Make that 26.
Gail K. says
October 18, 2010 at 4:23 pmI, too, grated ginger this weekend! I’m just like Bossy!
Only it was Sunday. And I didn’t sustain any injuries (in and of itself a miracle – call the Pope!) And I am not a blogger, but other than that JUST THE SAME!!
Soak it in alcohol – it will feel better. Or drink alcohol and you won’t care how it feels.
Lovelyn says
October 18, 2010 at 4:50 pmI feel for Bossy. I am no stranger to kitchen injuries.
rory says
October 18, 2010 at 10:02 pmSeeing Bossy’s wound- I don’t feel so bad about accidentally cutting off two of my fingers today.

October 18, 2010 at 11:23 pmI’ve had paper cuts that sabotage an entire quarter of my life’s productivity so I hear ya sister.
CS says
October 18, 2010 at 11:56 pmGet Well Soon, Bossy! And that chandelier belongs on the accidental dong blog.
Angela@beggingtheanswer says
October 19, 2010 at 9:40 amWhere IS that awesome chandelier? Because I think I need to hang several of them around the house (as conversation pieces OF COURSE).
Also, I hope your finger feels better soon. Graters are the work of the devil.
Angela@beggingtheanswer says
October 19, 2010 at 9:40 amAlso, @CS, there’s an accidental dong blog? Why didn’t I learn about this sooner?
kathleen says
October 19, 2010 at 3:30 pmI would also like to know about the accidental dong blog. Never heard of it. I need to get out more.
TLB says
October 19, 2010 at 10:47 pmI had that same problem when I cut the tip off my finger with a pair of scissors. Heal soon.
Also, that chandelier pic might be the best thing I’ve seen this year.
linlah says
October 19, 2010 at 10:48 pmI was surprised spell check didn’t correct that for you, but then agin I’m surprised by a lot of ordinary stuff.
foolery says
October 20, 2010 at 12:50 pmAt least it wasn’t a knuckle. Also, try Liquid Bandage (or similar name). Hurts like a muther but boy-oh-joy it works — you can even type again! But don’t let that info get out or The Fam will stop bringing you sympathy morphine.
Get well soon.
