So this is not a "everything in my life" update. I just wanted to blog on a few particulars.

First, I discovered a new purpose for fingernails. To give enough resistance to a knife so that you can stop yourself from cutting off the tip of your finger. I got my left thumb with a serrated knife (luckily cutting expendable food), and it took off a little bit of the end of the thumbnail, as well as a chunk of skin below and in front of the nail. It didn't hurt when it happened. It hurt like a big dog when I rinsed it, and I was worried I'd run out of hand strength squeezing it with the paper towel to get it to stop bleeding. I was still happy-go-lucky as always. I'm just in a lot of pain. Especially when I accidentally bump it against something, like my leg, or a steering wheel, or the bandaid stretched too far. And, just my luck, it'll probably take a good part of a week to heal, so I'll have to wear gloves constantly at work. Which is really inconvenient. But working with only one hand is even more inconvenient.

Second, I did not run over the bunny rabbit the other night. I think it was thursday night, coming home late. I was driving about the speedlimit, which is slow for me, since I generally aim for about 5-8 over, and a rabbit darted out in front of me crossing the road, barely making it. In the time it took the rabbit to dart out and disappear again, I had time to move my foot to the break but not push it at all. It just made me realize how callous we are as a species. I almost committed "manslaughter", and yet, the first thought to cross my mind was, "It was only a rabbit, and besides, how else would I get around?" We create these massive things, cars, to take us all over the place, and yet there is nothing stopping them from killing trees, animals, other people, even ourselves. We consider it a big innovation to invent a car that keeps us safe even when hitting something at killing speeds, but why can't we work on preventing cars from needing those safety features, because cars would not longer be deadly weapons?

Third, next time you see me, I will probably know how to hand-make donuts. However, I am borrowing the fryer, so I won't be able to make them for you on demand.

Ok, bedtime.
