monday monday...

...can't help that day.
today: a sick day. already.
rats.
what happened? 
last night i smashed my own finger,
(my precious finger, the one with the tendon hurt 
then healed a while back)
in the ups box. HARD. 
yep. it's nasty, but the tendon is intact. 
the cut/bruise
is right at the nail and tendon attachment.
ugh.
 i need a distraction,
so here's some gold
 habu linen
 that i spun up
a while back-not today
 into a lovely thread
 slippery and strong
and ready to weave.
hopefully the finger will actually heal as quickly
as the swelling went out of it.
constant ice and ointment
are helping.
geesh!

    I'm feeling it as i read. Love the gold thread and the beautiful timber floors I might add. Lousy reason to be off work but nice to be home!
