Epidermis Holy Moses

Posted on July 24, 2015 By Sister Rain

Since the change in my vision. I have been trimming my fingernails by feel. I have only ever had a manicure once, on the day before my wedding. My hands are in water all the time and I never polish them. I also have a strong aversion to nail files, just hearing an emery board in use is my nails-on-a-chalkboard sound and the feel of it? No can do.

With the arrival of  the video magnifier, I can put my hands under the camera and clip my nails at a high enough magnification that I can see my nails. It’s awesome!

What’s not awesome is after not seeing my hands with any clarity for two and a half years, seeing this:

Granted this is at a very high magnification, but yikes! There are some serious things going on on Planet Sister Rain. I swear I just saw a rover drive by. Either that or I’ve become a snake or an alligator, and no one has had the heart to tell me. 

If beauty is skin deep, I am in deep trouble.
