Sticks out like a sore...

If my typing is a bit off over the next week or so, it's because I sliced off a chunk of my thumb Saturday.

Nothing too major - just took a piece out of the ball. It's bandaged up and it will heal eventually. I bled like a stuck pig, though. Amazing how difficult it is to do things wihtout a thumb, even when it's on the non-dominant hand...

how?

The usual way. I was chopping an onion for our Saturday breakfast pesto scramble, and... chunk. One extra bit of meat to go into the mix, order up!

The usual way? One should know do this sort of thing often enough to have a "usual way".

This was a more extreme version of the not-uncommon "chop chop -ouch".

Usually it's just a nick rather than a full-on gouge.
