weekend?

I was Mr. Mom this weekend, while Cathy worked. Saturday morning, we raked and mulched in the yard. Sarah worked enthusiastically -- it was what she wanted to do. We went out and had a chicken biscuit and then played at Fort Fun until time to get lunch and join Cathy at work. After lunch, a brief nap, then more fun outside, and eventually Cathy came home. Sunday we did more raking in the morning (Cathy was still here until early afternoon), then Sarah went down for her nap. Light outdoor activities gave way to watching some videos inside. Normal bedtime activities actually resulted in Sarah declaring time to go to sleep before 9:00.

Also on Saturday, we sorted the laundry. Sarah is an excellent sorter. All in all, it was a lovely weekend together. I'm feeling fine, rested and ready for... work? I have to go to work? Feh.

Today at work, everything went great except for the paper cutter bit. Now, I'm a very cautious guy with the office equipment. About the only thing I ever did was put a staple through a finger the day we got our first electric stapler at work, back in the 80s. I've always been wary of drop-arm paper cutters. I made a somewhat bloody-looking sign for the lethally balanced three-foot-long cutter back at the University of Houston. I shuddered recently when Steve did something awful to his thumb with this cutter. So today I was cutting a bunch of card stock and I reached forward without looking and cut myself on the cutter. The blade stayed still and I did the cutting. It hurt like a paper cut, and only bled when I squeezed it, so I finished the work I was doing. Very annoying.
