knives are dangerous

ok, so i almost cut my thumb off... twice... it's not that bad, really, but it did tell me to send happiness out of the kitchen while i am cooking... i might have clumsily slipped cutting the roots out of the hard onion even if he wasn't staring through me under my feet, but why take the chance that his distraction helped... the thumb is still attached and a butterfly bandage wrapped tight after cleaning and applying triple antibiotic ointment then wrapping it with a large bandage should be enough to keep it from falling off, but sheesh, there must be an easily way to cut onions...

i suppose, given the odds, i've been quite lucky (and skilled)... this is the first time i cut myself cooking in decades and i used to cut and chop veggies and all sorts of foods daily for most of this life when i lived by myself or with others who shared life with me and i have all my fingers and toes and essential body parts, so i can still feel confident i am safe in the kitchen... but sheesh, lives are dangerous, ya know?...
