And then accidentally stabbed my left index finger. Hard. Right on the most sensitive spot. With a bit that was blunt, not sharp. Oh yeah, that *hurt*. I've a very high pain tolerance after years of chronic nonsense but wow that was just ouch. Not as bad as the time I stomped on a binder ring, but still.

So, run upstairs, knock on my father's door (he's got the first aid stuff in his bathroom), wait calmly while he slowly rises from the dead, wave bloody hand in his face (that woke him up fast), he got it cleaned and bandaged, which was pretty easy. It's not a huge injury. Just very painful and in exactly the worst spot.

Went back downstairs, naturally I wasnt done with the cards yet, fortunately didnt get any blood on them (that's what I'd meant). Incidentally, this wasnt the first time this has happened (probably wont be the last), and last time, I DID bleed on the cards. Which, I gotta tell ya, did not improve the situation or my mood.

So, vanishing here for a day was basically because I cant type with that due to pain. I spent like the last couple of days making sure to not touch things with it, which is irritating. Right now though I'm typing normally, though still bandaged (and father had said it seemed to be healing quite nicely when last checked).

though as of right this second it hurts a little again, so... ehh. I'll just keep it low use for now, type oddly/slow. But yeah, thats what it was. I didnt fall into some horrible depression spiral or something, if that's what anyone was worried about. Just something that was interfering too much with typing.

"...type oddly/slow."
I thought your typing seemed slower. That's okay. I don't read very fast...
I hope you feel better soon.

Take the time you need and i hope that your finger heals soon. I definetely hate when companies go overboard with tough to open packaging.

I wish you to heal fast and enjoy your new game. I have just discovered "Onepage rules" site and I am very happy about it.

I tried to cut the factory zip tie holding the two halves of a squeegee together with a pocketknife, which then buried itself in my hand right below my index finger. Ouch!
