Is that a pseudonym for MacDonalds? Who needs all those?

So last night I dropped the dog's leash as I was walking in the house so I bent over to pick it up and somehow ended up running my finger along the door jamb and managed to lodge a splinter super deep underneath my fingernail.
I wasn't quite sure if it was actually a splinter or if I just jammed the crap out of my finger so I opted for my very favorite medical treatment: ignore it and hope it will go away.
Surprisingly that did not work. This morning I went to an urgent care clinic. Doctor shot me with a local anesthetic and dug it out in about 30 seconds. But the it's sure making it hard to type and make sure I meet my Friday deadline on these projects.
I just wanted to make sure everyone else could enjoy the mental image of jamming a splinter under their fingernail. I wouldn't want to be selfish and keep that all to myself.

I filled up on Sunday so I'm not worrying about it.
I'm also within bicycle commuting range to the shop
