![[Futility]](http://www.neonepiphany.com/interimg/20050713.01.jpg)
Spent twenty painful minutes today digging a subcutaneous splinter out of my index finger — ow ow ow. I’ve a hole in my hand to match the one in my arm, now.
Still hurts to do anything, including type* or draw, which is bad, because this is the third night in a row I’ll be at work past two in the morning. In a way, getting that splinter out is like my entire life right now, which means I haven’t had any spare time to spend writing here or posting photos — nothing in the way of creative thinking at all — but I think that things have finally turned a corner for the better.
I mean, I did manage to dig it out, in the end.
I’m just waiting to heal.

Or an ironic one, I’d have had to dig out my tetanus shot history!
pastilla: those look terrifying! I can’t pick up anything sharp without, for some reason, imagining cutting lip with it (yes, I know, I’m a freak). People wonder why I flinch when I pick up a pair of scissors or hedge trimmers.
I guess they would have been much quicker, though.

A sharp pin and a sadistic friend always work for me. Also mangos will dull the ache.

Are these splinters the result of your pretty pretty pictures? Do you have art-wounds?!
I don’t know. You post more creative photos when on the creatively injured list than I ever have at my best. Hope your finger feels better soon! (And life too, for that matter.) Not being able to type - now that whould really cramp my style. :)
Ana, that’s scary scary.
I’m pretty sure the splinter was from the park. It came out, but it hurt for quite awhile — better now, though.
Stitches coming out of my arm today, too.

Ouch! What happened? Sorry I’m so slow on the uptake.

What you need is a … drumroll … splinter liberator! (Device to overthrow government sold separately.)
