Went out last night and made 300 copies of the Christmas letter. Bleh! Had to go to Kinko’s b/c Copy Central near here closed, apparently way back in February. Who knew? I don’t like Kinko’s. It probably goes back to the time I was told they did discounts for non-profits, but then they charged us full price for a boatload of copying for the church. Anyhow, I will say this for them: I like the way the self-serve copy area is automated now. It’s nice not to have to deal with a clerk. You just go in, stick your credit card in the reader, make your copies, and leave. And, OY, the price of copies! Didn’t they used to be 3c a copy when I was in college? Why are they 9c now? Ugh!
No, she’s not playing dress-up; Thing One sprained her finger yesterday afternoon. Somehow, she managed to shut her own finger in the bedroom door. I’m really not sure how she did that, but she did. It really hurt, and she was really verklempt about it, so we went to the doctor’s office. The doc & I didn’t think it was broken, but she taped the finger to the one next to it, put a bandage on it, and gave her a sling to let her rest it, keep her from bonking it, and keep it from hanging down and getting more swollen. As the doc, who is also a mom, said, “Never underestimate the healing power of TLC.” So, Thing One has a sling. As you can see, she’s no longer verklempt about it. She was just glad she wasn’t going to need shots or stitches!
