Round and about

[flemmings]

The Christie St. Baptist Church a block away from me has a new sign. (A new English sign: the Korean one remains as it was.) This is a good thing. The old sign had capital letters all the same size and spacing problems. Calling yourself the Christiest Baptist Church is unCanadianly vainglorious, and likely to peeve other Baptists.

Have with relief cancelled finger surgery next week. The blob on the right index finger is unsightly, but I can't face four days of full-time work-plus on no anti-inflammatories. Last time I did this I was five pounds lighter, and still limped dismally up and down stairs for that week.

Have often tried to precise the yellow-brown-gold colour that leaves go in November. The names that occurred to me (umber, burnt sienna, old gold) are all belied by wikipedia (unless my monitor's colours are off.) But one shade seems to hit it right on the head: turmeric.

I hope the finger clears up on its own, then. Good luck!

I'm told these things often subside. Or one can hit them with a brick, which I'm tempted to do on occasion.

is it a ganglion cyst? (AKA a "Bible bump" due to the practice of hitting them with large heavy family bibles, I believe.)

Evidently. They're called mucous cysts rather than ganglion, but wiki seems to think they're the same thing.

Ouch! I hope it clears up without help from brick or bible. Though maybe the Christiest church might be willing to lend you a bible if need be. :)

^_^ It doesn't hurt, actually, unlike the other two I've had. Also using left hand to bring Bible down on right finger-- err, is something of a feat, I'd say.
