I decided to make potato soup for dinner the other night. Mostly because we had a gallon of milk that need to be used. After I dug out the potato peeler, I realized I haven't used it (it was one we got as a wedding present) and we have no others. I got a batch of potatoes peeled and chopped and cooked, then decided we needed more. So I started peeling those and hurrying because Dan thought he was about to starve to death. Pretty soon I had only 3 potatoes left to peel, and I decided that would be a good time to peel my finger too. It wasn't too bad, enough to make it very difficult to finish the last 3 potatoes because it kept bleeding, and the band-aid i had was one of those plastic breather types, so it wasn't much help. Apparently that's why I never use the potato peeler, all this time I thought it was just because I was too lazy.
Don't worry, I didn't get any in the soup and it was very yummy. And my finger is almost all better now so you don't need to worry about that either.
I noticed Saturday that I paper cut two fingers, then peeled one on Sunday. I was very worried I would end up losing a finger on Monday. I thought about staying in bed all day, I figured I would be safest there. That seemed very unproductive though so I risked it and did a little Christmas shopping and even wrapped the presents without hurting myself.
