bored at work, really
Aug. 31st, 2012 04:06 pmWhile I'm sitting here, trying to get through this training I've been a little behind on and have time to finish it, I keep looking at my arms and the back of my hands. For a few months now, I've had a problem with skin mites, been itching like madness, went to the doctor off and on about it, and even had surgery to remove a swollen lymph node, only to find that it was all related to damn mites. That's finally starting to go away, and the little marks on my skin are disappearing slowly but surely.
I tell you what, that crap will drive you crazy. We still don't know how I got them, seeing as how I've been more or less confined to home with my work and neither of my roommates have any, but it makes ms so happy to see things getting better. I still itch, but it's not nearly as bad as it once was and I'm not itching as much anymore.
That aside, I'm thrilled to be home alone with work today. I've been downing coffee all morning and I'm giddy as all. Too much energy and not enough to do with it.

fingernails this time
Jul. 22nd, 2012 10:04 pmPeople have strange quirks where things touching them or things growing on them are concerned. That probably sounds like the beginning of an entry where I would go on describing how I love to rub my face on a doorknob for hours at a time, to the point where my family held an intervention session to force me to kick the habit. Really though, it's nothing like that. I just can't stand to have my fingernails growing out at all anymore.
I want to blame that on my years in shotokan karate, where long nails were meant for people asking for injury to themselves or to others. Odds are, it was both, often at the same time. Nowadays, I hate it mostly because I use a keyboard so much.
When my skin condition started, I really started keeping up with making sure my nails were short, but that was a necessity. I've not let them grow longer than the tips of my fingers in years. It bothers me when they start to get any longer than that and it bothers me even before they get to that point. Maybe it would be easier for me if I just didn't have them, but I don't think I could learn to like that.
Anyway, that's my thought for the night. My nails simply grew too long and I felt a driving need to tame them again.

after an extended hiatus
Jul. 19th, 2012 02:27 amThis would be the obligatory "I'm back" post. Silly me, I found I had a need, or at least a temporary want, for a place to talk freely and at random, and upon choosing dreamwidth for that journal/blog, I rediscovered the fact that I actually created one here back in 2010. It's fun how attached I've become to this username over time. Given that I've had the same one since my college years and even earlier, I'm not really surprised.
Anyway, I'll try to update this on a regular basis, sort of to keep up with and improve on writing and whatnot. Given my track record with doing so, we'll see where this gets me. I'm a bit lacking in something meaningful to really update or talk about, other than the fact that I'm here, for now, so I'll go on and cut this short for tonight.
