Things you wonder about when you're overly tired

I have this brown spot on the back of my hand, below the base of my thumb knuckle.

Liz thinks it's an age spot, but I've had it for years, and it's the only one. I look at it, and wonder if all the caucasion skin cells on my hand didn't get together and decide that all the darker skin cells should be segregated into their own little area. If they did, and the darker skin cells ever decide to rebel, they're sitting right at the base of my thumb, where they can take over an important digit and really raise hell.

I just wish they could all get along, like on my shoulders, where the freckles have co-existed peacefully for years with the rest of me.

I have a similar collection of dark cells on the middle finger of my left hand (a "birth mark"), just below the middle joint. I have often taken great delight in displaying it proudly and defiantly to the exclusion of the other digits on my left hand to certain people on certain occasions.

You know what they say, "If life hands you lemons, blah, blah, blah."
