Poor Perry had some kind of virus over the weekend that had him laid up and unable to do the stuff he normally does. Like… put wood in the outside boiler when it’s cold and snowy.
Not sure if I was trying to hurry and throw wood in because it was windy and I was freezing out there — or if I was doing my best impression of Wonder Woman (poorly, I will add) — but I found out I cant hoist and toss huge chunks of wood with my thumb.
They were wood chunks, not basketballs.
I was palming these huge tree stumps like a pro and throwing them in the boiler with one hand. That is, until the weight was too much for the thumb. 🙁 Now, I can’t touch my thumb to my pointer finger, hold a fork, or even pick up a jelly bean. I feel my heart beat in it. Ligament problem maybe? ARG!
And it’s my right hand — the only one I can use.
I can still type – barely. The bad news is — I have 2 days to move the computers for the contractor’s arrival on Wednesday. Not sure how that will work out.
TIL (Today I Learned): The reason we see fewer fireflies nowadays is because there are genuinely fewer of them. 1 in 3 North American firefly species are at risk of extinction, with some species already being officially listed as ‘Critically Endangered’!
