Three fingers down, two to go (or typing this is not easy)

Saturday morning I wake up early and realize the first finger on my right hand hurts. I look at it. A huge white welt on a bruised knuckle on a red, swollen finger. Bee sting, dammit. I clean it up and wrap the knuckle in a bandaid.

Morning I’m working with this damn finger, and I slam the second finger in a drawer. Another big bruise and incapacitated finger.

This morning I’m emptying the trash can into a plastic bag and the knuckle on my third finger gets sliced by the pull off top of a can of almonds. Two fingers are covered with blood. I wash it off, put a band-aid on it, and take a blood pill (cause I have rare blood that doesn’t clot very well).

By the end of the week, I’ll probably be totally fingerless on my right hand!

Aww, that sucks, Annie-Xmas!
I’m tying a yellow ribbon around my fingers in honor of yours. If anyone asks I’ll say “Annie-Xmas’s fingers deserve the attention they need! Send all donations to the Straight Dope c/o The Finger Fund!”
