An OCD Injury

I’ve managed to hurt myself in a really stupid way.

Yesterday I decided that to celebrate my first day off in who knows how long, I would respine a part of my CD collection. Thrilling, I know. The only problem was that after clawing open the back tray of 50 or so of the super-cheap and nasty CD cases I had bought on eBay, at some point a tiny sliver of plastic broke off and became lodged in my finger. Or something. To be honest, I don’t know if that actually happened. It sure feels like it, but I can’t actually see anything in my finger.

The upshot of this OCD injury is that certain activities that require the use of my left index finger can cause pain. Activities such as typing and playing the piano. I’m hoping it will sort itself out before long. Until then, I’ve put the CD unification project on hold, but the shelf looks great.

    I had the same thing happen with a shattered glass bottle. A tiny tiny piece went into my finger and is floating around. It still hurts me occasionally. That was a year and a half ago. But i’m sure YOU will be fine.

    It’s annoying when that kind of thing happens. Have you ever noticed that when it does happen, it never happens to a part of your anatomy you rarely use?

    Becky – Yeah, that’s exactly NOT what you’re saying, isn’t it.

    Kevin – But the question is, which part of the anatomy is rarely used?
