Pain level - Moderate
I seem to have an infection in my belly button, of all places. How? Who even knows? All I can say is that it itches like made, and that using an alcohol swab to clean it out stings like merry hell and I don't recommend the sensation! I just hope it doesn't turn into cellulitis (wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately), so I'm doing everything I can to keep it clean and covered in antibiotic ointment.
Since I had to go out for a few groceries, I stopped by one of the local discount stores and found an adorable squishy Cinnamoroll thing! It feels like a marshmallow, and I love it! Cinnamoroll isn't my favourite Sanrio character, but he's fairly high on the list, so I'm happy to have him as a bright smiling decoration next to my computer. He can encourage me when I try to learn Japanese again. Or just when I'm feeling low and want to see a cheerful grin.
In less good news, though, while I did a bunch of embroidery today but ended up having to unpick about 1/4 of it because apparently I can't count properly. I left a space of 4 squares when I should have left 2, and that threw the whole pattern off, and there wasn't any way of salvaging it without unpicking all of those stitches and starting that section over.
