    Venting here instead of at my friends

    Or worse, my colleagues. Both groups are very supportive, but I feel like they don't need to know that I'm in pain because I slept badly, and I just had to take my earrings out because they were becoming a pain trigger. (I feel rather naked now. Large earrings are my trademark!) I keep...
