The chore list progression
I sliced my index finger open at the distal joint of my right hand on Friday. Besides it hurting every time I bump it on something, which I apparently do a lot, it rips back open when I bend my finger. A big band aid is keeping it mostly straight now. This does though put a crimp on my house chore list that involves me using it extensively — like painting or pulling weeds. I can hear some people say, “don’t use it,” but I’m right handed, and not using it is hard. Even not using just the finger is difficult. To not aggravate it, I’m just putting off extensive hand-using chores until it is healed.
I started on a task on my list that I can do with minimal finger usage — the file server. It is a terabyte RAID that only had 307MB of free space left. That would give me enough space for about 11 photos from my camera before we’d be out. I started sorting through the files today. There is some old stuff on there. Wow. And duplicate things due to it horrible organization. I also started going through photos — making sure they were all tagged and unneeded ones were deleted. I’m still in 2001. I worked on the file server for about 5 hours today before I just couldn’t do more. We now have around 25GB free.
We had Popcorn Movie Slumber Party Night tonight. I make the kids beds on the floor, make popcorn, and we’ll watch a movie before going to sleep. Tonight we watched Coraline. It was my first time to see it. I thought it was fabulous! Ada is settled down with her sleeping bag, and I’m about to do the same on the other sofa. Jay had to be put in his bed because he wouldn’t stay lying down. I wonder if they will remember these nights?
