March theme: lists

I’m typing my blog entry between rounds of Scrabble. I’m enjoying a multi-player game, which I’d forgotten was pretty challenging. Everyone has these racks full of tiles and they’re laying down big words. I notice a lot of times in a two-person game, the board is really condensed and tight. Multi-player games are very spread out. This is, of course, a gross generalization.

But I know what you’re really reading for: an update on the nose. Another chapter of my delayed adolescence, another installment of the is-it-infected-or-not? Drama. You’ll remember that yesterday, I had so forgotten the piercing that I actually exfoliated the piercing last night, and I wondered what the consequences would be . . .

Not awful, but there was a tiny bit of swelling this morning, and there was some bleeding. I’m following the guidelines for after-care provided: drinking lots of water and applying warmth. (If this sounds counter-intuitive, it’s the warmth that promotes blood circulation which promotes healing.)

Second day of work was fine. People still assume I’m an idiot and try to show me how to do things like . . . operate the copy machine. Come on, folks. Everyone in an office environment can do this. I came there with verified, tested computer skills, and yet . . . I was treated to a computer training session. Yawn. Give me just a tiny bit of credit.

But I am so tired. I’ve had about . . . 6 hours of sleep the past two nights, and it’s caught up with me. So. Tired. Brain. Not. Working.
