A long time ago I read a Garfield comic where Garfield walks up to Jon and says something like “Jon, I’ve got a serious problem!!! I go to sleep and then BAM…. 8 – 10 hours later I am wide awake.” All the while Garfield is disheveled and has bags under his eyes.

I sometimes feel the same way about my fingernails. I clip them and keep them short, but they seem to find time to grow at stupid rates when I am not looking. Maybe I just don’t know what the usual time frame for clipping your figernails is, but I clip them just over once a week. About every 9 days or so.

And everytime I look down at them they are either short, meaning just clipped; or they are long and need to be clipped. I never notice that in between couple. Hence the Garfield reference. It’s like I clip them and then BLAM, 8 – 10 days later they are long and need to be clipped again.
