The theme today is "Ouchies."

Terrible tension headache. That's two in a one week time period! Not. Fair. This headache feels like I'm wearing Hell's Headband of Fire and Squeezing. And I think taking Advil just pisses it off. The headache is all, "Oh wtf Kim. I can't believe you even tried that shit. Zap! I pain you mo'!" The last time I had this headache (six days ago) I ended up taking Advil, Aleve, Excedrin Migraine and finally Leftover Painkillers from The Dentist. I think by the time I got to the painkiller, the headache just got bored and left.

Last night I used my new epilator for the first-and-a-half time (I do not want to talk about the first-first experience. I'm sure time will heal my emotional scars.). I only did up to the knee, but it still took AN HOUR. Folks, that is an hour of pulling leg hair out by the roots. WILLINGLY. This is just more proof that I am an insane, spendthrift, and vain masochist.

Joking aside, it wasn't really that bad. On a scale from one to ten, one being "shocked by the car door," and ten being "anally raped with a cattle prod," I would place this at about 3. Which is, "snapped with a rubber band over and over." And weirdly, you get kind of used to it, to where you stop wincing uncontrollably and unconsciously curling into the fetal position with hot tears streaming down your face, and even go over the same spot more than once. It's alright. And now I don't have to shave from the knees down for a while. Yay! (Do you think I should post this as my Amazon review?)

Ok, the headache is beginning to give me it's lovely side effect, nausea. At least I have silky smooth calves!

PS

What's the best type of yarn to use for fair isle? I think the stuff I have is too slippery and stretchy.
