In other news, i decided to go to the rock climbing gym today. In part because i ate too much food yesterday =P I did a little bit of climbing but tried not to overdo it, since
I didn't even realize at first that i'd done it. I just thought "that seems like a rather odd pulling sensation on me hand," and then slightly later "there it is again, why is my hand doing that?" So i stopped and looked and about a square centimeter flap of skin right in the middle of the palm was hanging loose. I decided i probably ought to stop at that point. I was just going to cut the flap of skin off, but then when i was washing the hand it started hurting, so instead after rinsing it i pressed the flap back down and got some paper towels and tied a crude paper bandage around the hand.
Then i went to the mall, because i'd been planning to get dinner there anyways, and it seemed like too much trouble to stop by home first to get a real band-aid. But when i got to the mall i had the brilliant idea that perhaps i should stop by REI. They might have band-aids, and more importantly they might have the kind of tape stuff people put on their hands, presumably in part to stop things like this from happening. So i went by there and did indeed find some "climbing tape." They also had some band-aids, but only in very small very expensive bundles designed to go in first aid kits, so i decided to pass on that. I got the tape (along with some more caffeinated jelly beans and a few other snacks =) and ditched the paper towel and replaced it with some of the tape, which worked _much_ better. Then i went by B&N to buy some books and got some dinner at Daphne's.
Although now i'm wondering, i just had a lot of yummy food an hour or two ago, so why am i _still_ hungry? *whines*
