What a day. I had to fill out a Job Safety Observation card today because I witnessed a co-worker accidentally snip off the tip of his thumb with a paper cutter. Major bummer. It reminded me of the time my Pop hit his foot with an axe while chopping wood.
Right to the bone.
Rushed to the hospital – oh boy.
Got to the hospital and one of the orderlies was wearing a T-shirt that read:

“I survived the Northern Ireland National Basset Hound Gland Squeeze Competition”

Cracked me up.

I struck up a conversation with him. He told me he spent most of his life working on a research project for the government trying to find out who financed the Tower of Pisa. He worked on it 25 years and they paid him an incredible amount of money. He told them he “was pretty sure it was a chick named ‘Eileen’.” Weird!

They repaired his thumb with some sort of cellulose material that's supposed to bond skin and speed up healing time... dude's in some serious pain.

Pop’s foot healed up just fine, too.
32 stitches.
Just in time for him to re-roof the house.
Went with metal this time.
Expensive, but what the heck.

Speaking of metal roofs, we had such a huge gust of wind the other day it peeled a friend of ours’ roof right off her double-wide mobile home. If Pop lived nearby I’m sure he’d go over and help her redo it. He’s such a gem.

Gem, gem… gems!
One of the nurses had a HUGE wedding ring. It’s a wonder she didn’t hurt patients – scratching them with that thing! I’m thinking about filing a complaint… that was just WRONG.

The lawnmower’s in the shop getting it’s spring tune-up. Blade sharpened, oil change – the usual. It should rock when it’s done. Will hafta make sure we get all the dog droppings picked up first though – LOL!

It snowed today! Whew!
