I stabbed it on something sharp in my purse this morning as I was rushing to get out of the house and make my train.<\/p>\n

My purse is a bit of a minefield, so I\u2019m not even sure exactly what the offending object was.<\/p>\n

My thumb bled a little bit and now it has a dull ache under the nail which is making it quite hard to type, particularly on my blackberry.<\/p>\n

So it hurts\u2026.literally.<\/p>\n

But it also hurts\u2026 figuratively.<\/p>\n

The constant state at which I (like I am sure many of you) are texting, typing, twittering etc. Is giving me a thumb ache.<\/p>\n

It used to be at the end of the day I\u2019d feel my weariness behind my eyes.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s my aching thumb.<\/p>\n

It makes me wonder about these prehensile digits. Will they really begin to grow to enormous sizes like in that book \u201cEven Cowgirls Get the Blues\u201d by Tom Robbins <\/a>.(Loved the book, never saw the movie).<\/p>\n

Will we start do thumb exercises on newborns and toddlers to give them a leg up in the 21st century?<\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s a sign that I need to ease up on my steady digital diet. <\/p>\n

Or maybe it just means I should just be more diligent about cleaning the sharp objects out of my purse.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s my point of view. What\u2019s your twist?
Do your thumbs ever hurt?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
