While I was building shelves last week I had the unfortunate experience of smashing my thumb with a hammer. It started turning black as blood gathered under the nail. For some strange reason, I figured I could cut a hole in my nail pain-free, since the nail was already separated from the skin.

Using a file and a knife, I cut all the way through my nail today while in a meeting at work. It was pain-free, as predicted. Whether it remains so is yet to be seen.

The good news is that I have completed my current shelf project! Although pictures would be boring, who cares?!?!
