plastered

i have learnt that it's not easy to type without
the use of the left index finger. The left hand
can hardly keep up with the right. And it's a bit
tricky using the mouse too - I had to switch to
the left hand a couple of years ago because of a
problem with my wrist and ended up getting used
to it so haven't switched back.
Here's what happened - was happily chopping up
some chilli to add to this tomato soup thing i
was making for lunch and then i realise i seem to
have sliced into my finger. Fortunately I didnt
actually cut into any flesh but managed to slice
off some of my nail, leaving quite a bit of the
flesh under it exposed, raw and red. A bit
freaked out, I didnt dare look at it and just
stuffed my finger under some running water,
cursing away. Luckily due to the bigass blister
on my left heel, I had picked up plasters the day
before.
Pain lah.
I think I shall write about the yummy dinner at
Moomba another day.
(ok so i've never had anything happen to me in the
kitchen before)
