Maybe if I hit the other hand...

Ow, shit.

Two hours ago I missed a nail and stripped the skin off the side of my left index finger at the nail. I taped it back together and kept going. Damn, it didn’t hurt while working. It wasn’t until I got in the car to pick up my wife and the kids that it started to hurt.

No kids, I’m not mad. (To my wife) no, there is nothing you can do.

I am now home. It’s covered in Ambesol and it is still fucking throbbing. I have had broken bones that hurt less than this.

I’m going out back to do some more work. With any luck I’ll hit another finger, one that will get my mind off of this one.

(deep breaths)
The… Ambesol… is… working…

thank goodness for painkillers… :smiley:
