Nails

I have a problem cutting my nails. For some reason, practically every time i try to trim my finger nails i end up cutting them too short. This ultimately leads to my skin breaking just below the nail’s surface, resulting in a bloody painful finger tip.

I don’t know why I continue to cut my nails too short. Every time I sit down to trim them I am cognizant of my predilection for cutting them too short, and yet I am incapable of correcting this problem.

I am tempted to never cut them, so as to ensure my never having to deal with this problem again, but I suspect that this would perhaps create new problems with similarly painful results. Things like putting in my contact lenses would probably, eventually, become a real challenge (which isn’t to say that i’m one who doesn’t relish the occassional challenge).

Anyways…it might interest you to know that this post was typed with nine fingers, as currently my left pointer finger is out of commission.
