Stupidest injury ever

20 Nov

I zipped up Jade’s jacket this morning and my hand slipped off.  The corner of my thumbnail (which wasn’t even sharp) pierced the skin at the tip of my index finger.

And it bled.

I’d have thought that only a dunce like me could manage something like this, but when I mentioned it to Michael, he said he did almost the exact same thing to his finger a couple of weeks ago.

No wonder we belong together.

Shotgun post

20 Nov
  • A decent Internet connection is like good health; you never notice it until it goes bad.  I had a lovely post planned for last Wednesday, detailing Halia’s wonderful magical first birthday, but then we lost our connection for two days.  Bah!  Pictures will come sometime, though… I almost promise.
  • Thank you so much to everyone who liked Jade’s Keto Kid shirt.  There are already a number of businesses out there making allergy awareness shirts, but the designs just didn’t work well for a keto kid.  Plus the shirts weren’t cheap to buy, so I figured why not make my own.  I am more than a little tempted to look into this as a business idea, and all your enthusiasm is definitely tipping the scales!  But just not this month…
  • November is a crazy month this year.  Cah-RAAAAZE-y.  I’m back at Big Band rehearsals every Monday night and we’re also taking a boating course (and will be writing our Pleasure Craft Operator’s Certificate exam) that takes two hours every Friday night plus six hours every Saturday of the month.  Not to mention all the reading required before each class.
  • I finally learned how to tie a bowline knot, though.
  • Jade’s last bit of medication was dropped just over a week ago.  She’s now on keto and nothing else.  I’d do a happy dance, but I’m too busy touching wood.
  • Today Jade surprised me with her initiative and grammaticality by saying, “Let’s be lions!”  She also consistently called her sister “Ha-LEE-ah” rather than “HAY-la” in the hour before bedtime.  (HUGE!!) Medication drop leading to sudden language development equals coincidence?  Considering we saw the same thing happen in September… I think not.
  • We’ve been talking for a LOOOONG time about updating our family portrait.  I wasn’t even pregnant with Halia when the last one was taken.  But then every time I wanted to book a photo session, Michael would be out of town or Jade would get a bruise on her face from a bad seizure or flying pigs would attack our house.  We finally went out for a photo shoot on Monday morning.  It was -15 °C (5 °F) out there and we were all bundled in our winter gear, but I’m looking forward to seeing the results.
  • Halia has two new teeth.  Which explains her royal crankiness earlier this week.
  • I almost forgot.  Today was my birthday.  Happy 31st to me!  Michael surprised me with a new stereo with integral record player (hurrah!!) and Amanda made an absolutely decadent Black Forest Cake.  Which will have lodged itself in my hips by tomorrow morning, I’m sure.  But what a great day!
