Flo and I went to the supermarket today. Normally, I like to go to the supermarket. I like buying food. I like buying anything, really. But I especially like to go with Flo. Here’s why -

Kristy and Flo enter Lidl to buy 7 things on their grocery list. Before they reach the first item…
Flo: Hey what kind of wine did Manu and Doro give us? Maybe we can find it here…
Kristy: I don’t know, but we still have some at home. We don’t need more yet.
Ten feet down the aisle…
Flo: Do you want more apple juice? Or we could get orange juice. This one has pulp. Should we buy a couple bottles, or get a whole box? We could get a whole box. Let’s buy a couple bottles.
Two feet down the aisle…
Flo: We could eat corn! Do you want corn?!
(For anyone who was around when Flo learned there exists ice cream cake, picture the same face and attitude with excitement.)

We bought corn.

As for the gory part. I was cutting a peach today with this cute little knife that we got in our Wüsthof knife set. Here is the particular knife I was using. The peach wasn’t really ripe, so I made eight slices in it, then I tried to peel the slices off the pit. It didn’t work. So I used the knife to sort of pry the thing off the pit. That’s pretty much where I went wrong.

I know – it doesn’t really look that bad in the photograph, but it really hurt! So I ran it under water to make it stop hurting, but then of course, it wouldn’t stop bleeding. Then I got lightheaded and nauseated, so I layed down on the kitchen floor. Poor Flo was trying to cook a marvelous steak dinner for me and then I had the crisis with my thumb. Here’s how that scene went -

Kristy on the floor. Flo running around between the bandaids, his wife and the steak.
Kristy: Do I need to go to the hospital? Do I need stitches?
Flo: No. You’ll be fine.
Kristy: How do you know?
Flo: I’ve seen worse before.
Kristy: But you hardly looked at it! I was shaking it all around when you looked at it!
Flo: I was shaking with you, honey. You’ll be fine.
Kristy: But what if I cut a tendon or a major artery or something?
Flo: A major artery in your thumb?
Kristy: Well, it could be a major thumb artery!

Anyway, I’ve lived. I don’t need stitches. Life will go on. But it was good for a drama!
