Ouch!

I was cleaning the kitchen the other night and turned around and stepped on something sharp. I looked down and saw nothing on the floor or rug so I was in a confused pain. I looked at my foot and there was most certainly something wrong. As it turned out, I rammed a toothpick in my big toe...and the tip of it broke off. I had actually spilled the toothpicks earlier in the week and thought I had retrieved them all. Well, as it turns out, one had been hiding in the rug and I stepped just right and wedged the toothpick into the rug with one end and the other in my foot. After some home surgery, this is what I pulled out.
Let's zoom in a bit, shall we?
Ouch is right.

And just for fun, here's Hutch in one of his new found places. Ever since I started packing things up like, books and picture frames, Hutch has been exploring.
Sorry about the dark picture. I forgot to change the aperture-preferred settings on the camera.
