Kevin and I went to Ellensburg yesterday to find something to do. Today it is really sunny, Wednesday it was really sunny, but yesterday it was cold and windy and rainy. Just my luck. We still managed to have a good time, and I spent another $8 at the Dollar Tree.
One of our first stops in downtown E-Burg was Threads and Needles, the used clothing and piercing shop where I got my nose done. For the last year or so I've been wearing sterling silver jewelry, and my skin seems to be sensitive to the silver. I bought a cute pink surgical steel stud and asked the piercer to put it in for me. One of the appealing features of silver is the very small gauge--the "bone" style studs I've been wearing are usually about a 22 gauge. The surgical steel straight stud that I bought yesterday was only a 20, so the piercer had to use a taper to stretch my piercing. I haven't been in that much pain in a long time, but the new stud looks nice and isn't as noticeable as my old one.
After having my piercing gauged out, I noticed that the tip of my nose is numb. It's not turning purple, so I know that it's not a circulatory problem. My best guess is that maybe the bend in the stud is pressing against some nerve in my nose. Hopefully when the swelling inside of my nostril goes down some it will relieve any pressure that might be causing the problem. I just hope it's not a bizarre MS symptom that was triggered by the stress and pain of the gauging.
In addition to my traumatic nose piercing experience we had lunch at Jack In The Box, a fast food restaurant that Kevin really likes but is not available in his corner of Canada, shopped at the dollar store, saw "Sin City" which I thoroughly enjoyed and will review in more detail later, and had dinner at The Tav. We did a lot of window shopping, saw Dick and Jane's Spot, and got in a lot of walking. Kevin also got a lot of DVDs at really good prices. It was a good, long, tiring day, and I'm glad that he got to see more of the area where I grew up.
**iBook UPDATE**
I stopped into Radio Shack a few days ago to see if their computer expert could pinpoint the source of my iBook troubles. He checked the power adapter for voltage, and got no reading off of it, so I deduced that the problem was the charger and not the battery. I ordered on off of eBay for $30 and should have it within a week, I hope.
