daith drama vanquished

and may i say that it's about ****ing time?  this has been quite the
learning experience for me.  

i finally got some titanium captive bead rings in and not only did the
itchies and the low-grade soreness disappear within hours, the remaining
bubbly bubble on the bottom of the left ear has decreased in size by
almost two-thirds in the span of three days with little to no attention
from me.  

i'm really, really happy to be on the way to done with all this
weirdness.  i flove these piercings and it will be so nice to be able to
finally enjoy them instead of feeling like they own my head.
