Current mood:

excited

The die is cast!
So, after fortifying myself with a much-craved gyro, I went to Industrial Primitives and talked to Rick about my scarification. I showed him the design, and he said it would work equally well as a cutting or a brand, and that the cost and healing times would be about the same. So I went with the cutting, and I asked him about aftercare and if I could have someone with me (yes). I set up the appointment (3 pm on October 6th) and left a deposit.

I'm nervous as hell but super excited too.

Then I hit Hancock Plaza. In Twin Liquors, I was the recipient of outrageous flattery ("You can't be more than 23!"). In PetCo, I found out that the Furminator is $10 cheaper on Amazon. In the Halloween store, I failed to find a scythe. In HEB, I got good juice and the toothbrush I will need to scrub my cutting during healing so it will scar well.

A productive afternoon, I think.
