My bedroom door sticks. Let’s get that bit of information out of the way to start with. It’s actually worse in the summer–it barely closes then. It’s a dream in the winter to close, but it’s starting to get bad again. Therefore, when I want to close it enough to keep the dog out of my room, I have to slam it to basically wedge it into the door frame.
Yesterday, in a hurry to get downstairs with a handful of change, I slammed the door with said handful of change, and you can guess what happened. I slammed the side of my hand into the door frame, full force. I thought I’d broken it. It bled profusely for a while, so now I’m left with a bump, a bruise, and probably a scab; I haven’t had the guts to take the bandage off yet to look. And it’s still hurts to touch it. I definitely can’t clap. (Yes, I went a loooong way to get that title.)
If it had happened, say, next Wednesday instead, I could have used Karma for Thursday the 12th, which would have been much more in line with the fact that I’m illegally tagging along on the A to Z Challenge this year. Apparently you can’t spell Karma with a “C.” It’s even more illegal than what I’m doing, and only Buddha knows what might have gotten stuck in the door jamb if I’d attempted it!
Future is past, in my world. It’s a rebirth thing. 😉

Aw, I am sorry for your poor, poor hand! Not a case of a “change” for the better. See, this is why we don’t hit people with our fists. It hurts our fists. Even with a roll of change as impromptu brass knuckles. Why, yes, I do read a lot of crime fiction; why do you ask?

Haha! Yes, I used to dread having to hit the punching bag when I did karate. Never broke any boards … Now I know why!
Thanks, Marian, for your kind sympathy. 🙂

Makes me wish I lived close enough to fix your door. Tightening the hinges might help, or you might have to shave down the door a bit. I’ve done a lot of those kinds of fixes over the years.

Aww, thank you, Misha. I think it could do with a shave, actually. It doesn’t fit in the door frame at all in the winter.
