Since to crepitate means to crackle, Neil Diamond’s 1970 hit song could have been named Crepitating Rosie.

Sitting here like a couple of oafs.

(images are pics of spouse and I posing with cocktails)

I saved $6.32 (5%) at Harris Teeter supermarket for being over 60 on a Thursday. 😱😂

It’s strange how they work that. It’s actually a pretty good discount for groceries.

Target’s “Red Card” discount is 5%, and I feel fortunate to get that.

I can no longer flip a bird with this hand. I miss it. 🐦

These is still dried blood at the base of the fingers. 🦇

With my newly reconfigured fingerprint on the index finger, I could get a job in safe cracking.

Today is the first time I changed the bandage and had a good look at it. Kinda creepy. Yesterday I was too freaked out at urgent care to look at it. You should have seen my blood pressure and pulse.

If it had been my middle finger instead, it would have been good for holding my arm outside the window while driving. 🖕

Follow up occurs on Monday.

A quick fun story in pictures. I thought I’d slice up some apples for dehydration then go on a bike ride. Change of plans. Good thing I’m still off from work for awhile.

Home kitchen tools can be dangerous, especially cheap ones like that slicer.

In short, some shit’s gone under the bandage. It was a close call but didn’t do the ER. Urgent care got me evaluated, treated, and wrapped up well enough for followup tomorrow.

Nerve endings are waking up to the new configuration and are now on a rampage. Nice pain med putting them back to sleep. I feel woozy and good! lol. Trying to clean up the mess I left in the house now. Lot of it dripped all. over.

Pic 1: the apple corer works extremely well.

Pic 2: starting thin apple slices on the mandoline slicer. Good thing I didn’t have it set to julienne.

Pic 4: bleeding stopped. Followup care tomorrow.
