I’m finally back at the gym and I feel like I’m just limping around the place, but it is getting better. Being a geek who likes measuring things, I bought a Fit Bit Charge HR and it was fun for a week. Unfortunately I should’ve heeded the poor online ratings and known that if someone could have an allergic reaction to using it, I would have that reaction.

I had to make a trip to REI to return it. I also wandered around the store figuring that might distract me from the itching. Well, it worked for a while and the itching around my wrist is going away. Unfortunately the allergy desensitization shots I’m getting are still incredibly itchy. I sure hope they’re going to actually reduce my allergies and aren’t just pure hokum. Maybe they’re just crushed up mosquitoes. How would I know the difference?
