Purple Fingers

I really shouldn't be writing right now - I have a paper for a class due tomorrow that's half written. Again.
But all that I can concentrate on is on my right hand's flanges. As indicated, they are an unnatural color, due to a leaky bottle of food coloring and my penchant for grilled cheese sandwiches. I can't stop looking at the mottled purple splotches that cover my index and middle fingers. When I forget and re-notice the discoloration, I have to remind myself that my hands are, in fact, clean, despite their strange appearance. This is not really helping. For gosh sakes, I have spent 4 hours writing a two page paper. This is taking waaaay too long. And purple fingers are NOT helping the process.
