2 ½ hours

Atmosphere of clean ~ BACKFIRE

As happens every winter, I get little scrapes on my hands from dry skin hitting this and that throughout my day.  I had a little scrape on my right index finger.  Sunday night, I go to bed.  Monday morning I wake up and my finger is swollen up and it hurts and I can't bend it (most likely because it was so swollen). 
I figure I'm going to die. (Really, from years of watching medical dramas, I think Dr. House needs to be called in ~ I had a sore throat too, it may have been related in some rare and deadly way.)
I do show it to the school nurse ~ by 11:30 the swelling has gone down, but it's quite red and gross looking.  She tells me I should really see a doctor.  So I go to urgent care at 3:30.  At 6:00 I leave with a prescription (He didn't think I'd die ~ or even loose my finger.)

I figure sticking my hand into the gross water from scrubbing my mud room did me in.  I may be creating an atmosphere of clean...but at what price?  I have to take antibiotics because I want a clean house...

I guess you have to wonder how dirty my house was.
