Watch out for the Beagle!

It's been about a week since I last wrote here. There's a reason for that. On Tuesday night, Buddy accidentally bit me. I say accidentally because I was taking a treat from him, and I did not command him to 'drop it'. I just reached for it. My finger was in his mouth when he decided to clamp down on the treat. I don't think he even knew my finger was in there. But, it broke the skin, and I started to bleed pretty good. And of course Hubby was at school. Long story short, I had a friend take me to Urgent Care and stay with me until Hubby arrived. I ended up with 3 stitches and a pretty black and blue finger. I have to keep it bandaged up for the next few days and I will go and get the stitches out on Wednesday morning.

This is only the 2nd time in my life I have had stitches. The first time was when I was in 5th grade and I tripped and fell and whacked my head on a desk, cutting my eyebrow open. That landed me one stitch, with no numbing stuff!! OUCH! But that was a dissolving stitch and went away on it's own. These they gave me numbing stuff for, OUCH, and they will take them out. These are in my left hand and I am not allowed to use that finger, let along bend it due to the bandages. It really has made me appreciate having two normal healthy hands. I can't imagine if I suddenly lost a hand how long it would take me to learn how to only use one hand for everything.

I also had to get a tetanus shot, so my right arm is still pretty sore from that. And Hubby and I are getting flu shots on Tuesday, so I will be sore all over again.

I had to work Wednesday with my big bandaged finger, but then I had Thursday and Friday off. Today I get to close the store. And I work tomorrow, my next day off is Wednesday.

Yesterday Hubby took the afternoon off work and we went up in the mountains to look at property. We would really like to by a little land. For now we can camp on it and then someday we could build a cabin on it. We saw a piece we liked yesterday, but I think we still have some looking to do. We shall see.

Well, I am off to eat breakfast, take an antibiotic and then get ready for work. Remember to turn your clocks back tonight! This is my favorite one, where we gain an hour of sleep!
