Showing Off Is Bad For You

I’ve got a hurty thumb. It’s my own fault. I tried to demonstrate that I can support my own weight on my fingers and walk around. And it’s true, I can. Or rather I could. Just another sign that I break more easily than I used to. I’m sure I used to be indestructible. Now my thumb makes a funny pop-noise and bends a funny way when I try to show off. Ouch.

So typing is slower and more painful and other odd things are really hard. Pulling up socks is oddly very tough. As is doing up a button fly on your trousers.

As well as making me realise how many simple things we take for granted I’ve mastered a couple of new skills, texting and eating with my left hand for example.

I’m sure it must be good exercise of some kind…
