This evening I had the house all to myself. I had an evening of potting flowers, light cleaning, and preparing for our yard sale this weekend ahead of me. I was moving along quite nicely, having finished the flowers and finding a few more things in the garage to put in the yard sale. My garage door is broken, so I had to manually open and close it. Having completed outside work, I shut Patrick's side and pulled down on my door to get it shut. It only went down about 1/2 of the way, so I reached up and grabbed the door at a crease and pulled down. Unfortunately, I did NOT pull my fingers out of the door crease before the door closed.
It is impossible to describe the PAIN that shot through my fingers as I tried to grab the door with my other hand and push the door back up. As I yanked my fingers out of the garage door, blood came spurting out of one while another bled slightly. Between the pain and the fear that I sliced off a finger, I nearly passed out. I managed to get back into the house, realizing that I still had all three throbbing finger tips. After a frantic call to Mom (although I knew she was in FL, she was my first thought) and then a call closer to home to my aunt and cousin, the nausea abated and the pain became more tolerable. Thus, the title of this post. I am now having to resort to the old "hunt and peck" method of typing, as I have temporarily lost the use of 3 fingers on my left hand.
It never ceases to amaze me the really dumb things I do to myself! Especially on days when I am all by myself. So now I am spending the rest of the evening NOT doing yard sale stuff, but at least I have the chance to catch up on Harper's Island. :)

Oh my gosh - I hope you are feeling better! I think my stomach did a flip just reading that. I actually have a funny garage door story for you from yesterday that might make you laugh. So there were some awful storms that came through around 5:30 and we lost power for about an hour. I was supposed to meet a friend for dinner and went out to the garage and the door would not open. Duh - the power was out and therefore the electric opener would not work! And I had no idea how to open it manually either - I tried a few things but nothing worked and so I actually had to reschedule dinner with my friend because my car was trapped in the garage. It was pretty funny!
We need to plan a time for us to come up and visit soon too. I miss you bunches!!!
Ouch! I hope your fingers are doing better and that you didn't do any permanent damage.
What's Harper's Island?
