I Am Glad I Noticed It

My fingernails are black. Not the tops, but the tips, under them. I wish I was exaggerating. It looks like I have been clawing tar. I am glad I noticed it. Using my other nails now to dig out the debris. I am such a boy for an old lady.

Oh, lord, this is too much information! When I told my niece I was in SAD, she looked at my fingernails. I asked why. She said many depressed people don't pay attention to their hygiene. What?!? When under my fingernails get dirty, I just clip them and start all over! (chucking)

I like the clipping idea; I shall try that.
