suddenly there is a bruise on my left ring finger and i'm not sure how it got there but out of nowhere it's an ugly purple red just on the inside of the lower knuckle -- a vocabulary word we looked at last night, part of The Arm, Hand, and Fingers category or group which is an easier word to know -- and maybe it is that inaccurately focused attention that burst into my finger and caused this unpleasant color -- as if pounded with a hammer maybe just a small one but hit pretty hard actually -- and also the discomfort -- i will not say pain because really it's more discomfort than anything else and it hurts most when i bend it or poke it so i guess i won't do that or even think about it too much because i tried that earlier and the whole top half of my finger to the top went numb -- but maybe that's nature's way of saying stop poking at your finger and get to the point
