Thumbs down

28 January 2010

On the left, one of the levers on my £100 new office chair broke my thumb nail. As evidenced on the right though, I have no need to pay such sums for injury. Earlier in the day the front door that came free with my parents smashed my thumb, bending the nail back far too far for, well, I should think anyone’s liking. I sucked it hard, (hi Googlers) as it seemed the only thing to do, but I don’t think it helped, it just made my mouth hurt as well. The nail now has this lovely purple stripe and any pressure at all hurts, but of course I’m finding that I need to use my poor thumb in anything I do. Stupid fine motor skills.

I just hate when that happens. I had to cut my nail off last night because it had broken below a comfortable line and I was afraid I was going to catch it on something and rip it off and that would have hurt worse. I had tried superglue and fingernail polish to keep it, but it didn’t work. So I gave up and cut. at least it will grow back,eventually.

Owwwwwwwwch. I am wincing in sympathy because those both sound like things that would happen to me. I call it being spatially challenged (sounds nicer than “klutzy”).

Wait.

Am I being mocked?

Yeah. Totally something I would do.
Or should I say, have done.
My solution….cover with nail polish and hope that not being able to see the injury, means that it never happened.

But how do I get sympathy without evidence to parade?

You shouldn’t be mocking an INVALID. You should be feeding her cupcakes.

Well, at least they match. And now you have a wonderful excuse for taking some time off and making people serve you. They should be clamoring to do so anyway. What is wrong with them?
