Lately I am constantly aware of my toenails. I can feel them growing. All the time. I check them first thing every morning when I wake up because I can never quite believe that they haven't grown into talons in the night.

I don't think I would find this as disturbing as I do if I had the same awareness about my fingernails. But I have never felt ( Read more... )

I did the same thing with my phone when I was working support. I refused to answer it, and even swore at it when it rang after work hours.

I only feel my toe nails 'grow' when I have one ingrown. Unfun.

Happy 21st - late - C3.

I had an ingrown toenail right before I went to Europe. I convinced the Dr. to fix it even though I was literally leaving in three days. It made the first week of constant walking through famous cities very painful, to say the least, but now I know what they look and feel like and can safely say that none of my toes are currently ingrown. I did, however, drop a shampoo bottle on my foot three months ago, and the nail on one of my big toes has turned purple and died and is not sloughing off quickly enough. I think I shall blame that for my toe-awareness.

My job is making me even more reclusive than I ever was before! If that's even possible. I should probably try to get over ignoring my phone if I ever want my friends to speak to me again after this summer. Either that or convince people to become my penpals. Do you want a penpal? I'm a good penpal.

Also, thank you. <3

Very cool about playing paralegal. Makes perfect sense about not answering the phone when you are not getting paid for it!

Do you suppose that your fingernails/toenails might have to do with an awareness of the outer extremes of your physicality. Sort of your edges. Something sort of like a wise boundary lesson only maybe it doesn't seem like that.
