Ouchie.

I have overdone it again. My nose is feeling remarkably well, and is only sore when it's due to be soaked in salt water (a feat in and of itself). My ear however, is another story. A mere jewelry change and it's acting like it just got pierced. This piercing is at least 6 years old!! The ring was slightly larger, though not an entire gauge. It's not happy with me. So it's getting treated like it's brand new as well. To think I'd considered getting a new hole in my other ear too. I'd be in bad shape.

And I have bowling arm from bowling Sunday night. Which wouldn't have been so bad, but the square I'm working on for my cousin's wedding gift is seed stitch, which given my rather unorthodox method of knitting requires a lot of arm movement. That's what I get for bowling with a 10 pound ball. That's huge for wussy little me. (I hit 140 though!)

I got the first 6 rows of edging done on honeymoon last night. Also an arm intensive stitch pattern. I keep finding myself with a death grip on these tiny little needles. I've not worked with something so small (#6) for quite some time. And I screwed up somewhere but I've decided it's on the back, so I'm not ripping it out. The bag I'm working on from Stitch & Bitch is on the same size needles and I have the same death grip with it.

I keep getting horrifically bored working on these movies here at work. I'm making myself take a lunch today, which means I'll need to stay later, but I need it for my sanity.

New and fun tricks!

So I have this thing I do called "bunny nose." I've only met a few people who can do it. To me it feels like I'm pulling downward with the muscles in my nose so that the tip goes up and down, but it actually looks like my whole nose is moving, like a bunny or hamster.

After the nostril piercing, I was happy to find that doing bunny nose did not cause discomfort.

Well, all morning, I've been able to tell that the jewelry is a little turned. No big deal, because I need to have it adjusted once the swelling disappears anyway.

Except that I just blew my nose and it felt funny, so I did bunny nose and the end of the screw is now hanging out of my nose. I think it's because I took some Advil a while ago which killed the last of the swelling.

I managed to get it pushed back up there, but now it's kind of sore. This thing is LONG!

At least now I understand where the end goes and have some degree of confidence that I'll eventually be able to change it myself. I want a little diamond-type thing for dressy occasions, and a purple titanium ball for when I'm feeling sassy.
