I cut my left thumb pretty well this morning with a box knife. I was cutting a box down a bit to fit a tripod I sold on ebay yesterday and was just being careless by holding a big ruler as a straight edge with the tip of my thumb extending out a bit too far. So it's sliced right at the top of the thumb nail into the meaty part.
I grabbed some paper towels and held it for awhile. Then I went to our bathroom to look for band aids, a useless trip as we seem to have a pretty pathetic first aid kit. I finally found some finger band aids which which work pretty well for fingertips. Later I went to the store and got some steri-strips and stuck them from my fingernail over the cut and onto where my thumb print is. Wrapped it up again in a band aid and the wrapped the thumb with some tape to hold the band aid on.
I hate when I do shit like this, it makes it hard to do things I need to do like finish the garden or put my wife's car back together.
