I Almost Cut My Finger Off

I would really like to blame it on the MS, but the truth is, Im just not very observant sometimes. The problem arises when I get focused on one thing and then not notice the other things outside of that.

The problem all started when I couldn't find my short scissors. I should have known better and just kept looking or do what I eventually had to do after I injured myself and go to the bathroom and get the little scissors in my manicure set.

But no, I just got the regular scissors and set off on my project. I was trying to cut yards of yarn. So I was sitting at the kitchen table while my husband was washing dishes, chatting and cutting lengths of yarn. So of course I wasn't paying any attention to anything else but the yarn and my husband. That is how it happened.

I wasn't paying attention to the fact that the long scissors extend far past the length of yarn that I was cuttting and ended up cutting my finger with the length of yarn. Luckily my reaction was quick and I dint cut all the way through. I was about a millimeter short of doing so. So I cleaned up and put a bandaide on and got the little scissors out of my manicure kit.

So now I have to get myself another pair of short scissors.
