Five for Thursday: Finger Splint Woes

I will tell the story of HOW the finger splint came about when it's easier to type.  But for now, here is Five for Friday:  Things that are UNSANELY Difficult to Do Whilst Wearing a Finger Splint.

Note:  Finger Splint is on my middle finger of my right (AND DOMINANT) hand.

  1. TYPE.  This sentemce was typoloed wiuthout me cp99orrect9ijng oit.  See?  I'm not lying about the typing.  I won't be blogging/writing/crocheting for a few days to come.
  2. BRUSH TEETH.  Try holding a battery operated tooth brush with your thumb and ring/pinky fingers and see how you fare.  It's ridiculous.
  3. CHANGE A CD IN A CAR CD PLAYER.  I can barely do that while driving WITHOUT the splint.  Oncoming traffic=bad.
  4. GET CHANGE OUT OF THE CAR CONSOLE TO PAY THE SBUX MAN.  I held up the Starbucks line for approximately 3 minutes because I couldn't get hold of 3 pennies...and I didn't care because I'M INJURED, BITCHES.
  5. WRITE CHRISTMAS CARDS.  So I made Chris do it. :)
And a bonus for y'all...The One Thing That is Easiest to Do Whilst Having a Splint On Your Middle Finger...
  1. FLIPPING PEOPLE OFF.  Finger Splint=more visible and even REFLECTIVE on those cold, dark winter mornings.  I think I'll keep it in the car after I don't have to wear it anymore JUST to signal people who piss me off.
How 'bout y'all??  Any holiday injuries??  Do tell....
