Broken

My finger hurts. Since I don't have health insurance there's no way to get an actual diagnoses, so I will just go ahead and assume it's broken. I bought one of those splint thingies at CVS for 5 bucks, and it's doing its thing. I'm sure it will heal and life will go back to normal shortly.

Until then however, I can't help but feel a little battered and fragile. It has not gone un-noted that the finger in discussion is the fourth one on my left hand. The unadorned one. Now mangled and battered, further mocking my spintsterhood.

Dear God. you'd damn well better be the only one mocking your spinsterhood, because if you're not, whomever is needs to be dropped like a bad habit. i mean, seriously.

sweet jesus. you'd better be the only one mocking your spinsterhood. otherwise if there is anyone else doing so, that person, or those persons, should be dropped like a bad habit.

Wow. I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon; otherwise, I'm starting a "Fix Hey Pretty" fund.

Yeah, HP, i hope you are feeling better, too. what about a walk-in clinic? I know it's not cheap, but if your finger is really broken (esp. that one, which will one day be adorned in UNspinsterhood), do you want to risk it healing crooked? good luck!!

Oh the irony. It's ok, honey - i'm sure it'll feel better soon! Shoulda been the middle finger...then you could flip all all you see sans repercussions :)
