weird stuff that probably only interests me

ok
so
the other day
maybe four or five days ago
i noticed that my thumb hurt

i have this spot on my thumb, that
gets irritated occasionally
when i was like 23 or 24 i got this
i wanna say wart
and
i cut it out
with a razor blade
twice
so
i've had this little knot of scar tissue
and sometimes it gets irritated

so i thought it was just that

but then
it got to really hurting
so
i looked at it
and it's got this big bubble of pus
coming up under it

so i figure i musta gotten a splinter or something
and not noticed because
the skin is so thick and callus-y
so blah blah blah
i soak it in hot salt water
and i try to find something that'll puncture it
but i couldn't
without slicing it open
so i just went to sleep and went and got a needle the next day

and
you know me
i was thinking
what the hell is this shit supposed to be telling me

so i punched it four or five times
drained it
soaked it in salt water some more
and there was a hole underneath the knot now
which seemed to be healing fine

but today
today there's a white ring around the whole thing
and i'm all like:
what the fuck is this now
so
of course

i pick at it

and the whole thing comes off
knot and all
and
i have completely new skin
that twenty year old knot
gone

and
i never did find the splinter
or whatever
so
i really don't know what that was all about
