Just a few silly things

melwilI was having a good day - lots of fic put online, right in the mood for writing, and then . . .
I was getting some nutella from the cupboard when it slipped from my hand. Like the idiot that I am, I tried to grab it right as it hit the floor. In fact, in the seconds after it shattered.
Result: One badly cut up left hand. And I'm left handed.
I've got three little cuts which are now healed enough to be uncovered - one at the bottom on my index finger and one at the bottom of my middle finger and one at the side of my hand.
Then there's the big one. On the palm side of the finger, it starts smack bang in the middle of my pinky and goes diagonally down until the point where the finger meets the hand. And it's deep.
Luckily, it does seem to be healing pretty quick. But I lost a fair amount of blood and was rather dizzy for a while there. And pain has set in now, but I don't want to upset my somach with pain killers.
I feel so stupid!

Hey. Don't feel stupid. Reflex actions are like that, you just can't help it. I'd be willing to bet you didn't sit down and think "Well, now I must just catch that jam jar, and look, it's about to hit the floor, so I'll get my hand sprayed with glass, but I'll catch it anyway because I want it caught." If you'd thought that then you'd be allowed to call yourself stupid... well, not really. In fact, I'd get rather nasty on anyone calling you stupid, even you. But my point remains. I think. Was there a point?

Now, if I'd been the clutzy Melina who failed Phys Ed I would probably be okay *g*
