Yeowch! I hate it when that happens, Dana.

Clean it up with a little alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, wrap it up with some soft gauze and antibiotic, keep it clean.

Unless you need to trim it a bit, or it get infected, no doctor may be necessary.

I recommend Epsom salt baths as it heals, or maybe a soft foot soak to heal the surrounding skin before the nail grows it it.

Ouch, Dana. I hope that you aren't in too much pain.

Congratulations, Jessica!

Happy B-day, JZ!

Congrats Jessica! Health pregnancy~ma!

Happy Birthday, JZ.

Healing ~ma, Dana.

Congrats, Jessica!

Happy birthday to JZ!

Ouch, Dana, hope it heals quickly.

I'm hoping for an update on Aims' food poisoning.

ION, getting ready to go on vacation is traumatic, because we clean the house really well for the petsitter, since it's not fair to expect him to deal with our horrific standard of living. The trauma comes in when the massive cleaning leads to a visceral awareness of JUST HOW MUCH filth we were living in.

Ack.

And on that note, I'm off to clean the bathroom.

(Actually, most of the cleaning will be done once I've cleaned the bathroom. Vaccuming is The Boy's job, and he'll probably do it right before we leave, and then I'll mop the kitchen floor right before we leave. Still, something always comes up that we didn't think of, like boiling the doorknobs, or something.)

(NOTE: we have never boiled the doorknobs. YET.)

Yay Jessica. Congrats! Most excellent news!

Happy Birthday JZ! many happy returns.

E_O, hold that dudes feet to the fire. If he won't do it for free, hire the other guy, charge the first and sue. Put a lien on his contractors license so he can't file for work permits. (I think that's the action. I may have terminology wrong).

Three shows down. Last is about to start. Lots of "awww" moments. And the one boy, about 6 or so. He was just about to pick a winner, and looked at the audience, and removed finger from his face. Very funny. Is it Tuesday yet? Can't wait! A week off!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BOIL THEMSELVES!!

I live with a mad scientist. (Possibly Dr. Horrible.) If he can't come up with self-boiling doorknobs, then I AIN'T DOING IT.

Self-boiling doorknobs would certainly add that element of risk every time you wanted to open the door.

Maria, I'm thinking about you and your mother. I hope it's something minor and she can get back to recovering quickly.
