Freedom!

As of Saturday morning, I am free. I finally was able to take that heart monitor off and be rid of the wires and patches and extra cell phone. I am free of having to practically scrape adhesive and gel off my skin. I am free of trying to sleep with that thing. It is a wonderful feeling. The only thing that is not so thrilling is the fact that my skin is still a mess. Frankly, I think it's hideous but I'm hoping that it'll heal up soon (right now it's all red and splotchy in vague shapes of electrodes and amoebas). I did some reading on allergies to adhesives, particularly the type used on electrodes, and was rather surprised to find that a lot of people are allergic to it and even the companies that make the electrodes say that they're not meant to be used for more than a few days. No wonder 30 days has made my skin a mess. I'll give it a few more and if it doesn't seem to be clearing, hello Dr.'s office.

Other than that, it's been busy. My computer was making bizarre grinding noises so I am now $240 poorer, but my "vintage" Mac is fixed (that's a very nice way of saying effing old). I'm glad to have it back but totally know what I'm getting when it really does breathe its last.

I skipped a bunch of grad parties this weekend, just too much other stuff going on in terms of Father's Day and the like. I also hit a super fun party with KJ at a girl who was a classmate of mine in middle school (we haven't seen each other in at least 15 years). Good times though but still kinda weird since I think the last time we saw each other we were happy to be drinking soda and now we're swilling white wine. Oh well.

Not too much else for the moment. I'll keep you posted :)
