Tattoo, a week later

My apple doesn't look like the one in the picture. It's red and angry and it still hurts. Most of the crusties have fallen off, or been pulled off. Aquaphor is my friend and is nice and soothing.

I'm worried about the lack of color and the amount of redness, but Jon said black and whites tend to stay irritated longer. I hope he's right. But if there's touch up to be done, it can happen when I get the rest of my wrist done next Monday.

With how much the apple hurt, I questioned whether I wanted to go through with it. But I do. It'll suck. I'll have to get the USB keyboard to use when I type on the Powerbook because I won't be able to set my wrist on the rest for fear of gooping up the nice aluminum finish. It also means I won't be able to paint for a week, which I'm OK with.

The thing I'm not looking forward to is banging the wrist into every object around me.

Beyond that... some other interesting life developments that probably won't get posted here. Or will they?
