Hands - 17  by Katrina

Pick, pick, pick. 

I'm not good at waiting.  In fact, I'm rather impatient.

Anyone who knows me at all can easily tell when I'm stressed out by the number of hangnails I have.  Right now, both of my thumbs have angry red hangnails where I've picked the skin until it bled.

I used to smoke cigarettes when I was anxious.  Now that it's not an option, I pick.  

Sometimes, it's so bad that my husband will nudge me with his elbow or knee and give me "the look".  You know the one:  "Katrina...cut it out.  Your picking is driving me crazy."

My response?  "You knew I was crazy when you married me, big boy."
