Possibly TMI!

brigdhI broke my watch yesterday. It was the strangest thing, really; I bumped against a stop sign's pole, and somehow snapped the watch's band completely in two, even though I myself didn't feel anything and didn't realize I'd done it until the watch fell off a few steps further.
I didn't remember to buy a new one this morning (mainly because I'm too tired to remember anything. I've only gotten half a night's sleep the past two days: yesterday people were jackhammering the street outside, and this morning the person who lives above apparently decided to build something using power tools. I... I really don't understand people.) and then I was too busy the rest of the day, so I didn't wear one. It was weird just on the level of habit, because I'm used to always knowing what time it is, but it also turned out to do strange things to my behavior.
Well. I have scars on my wrist, from my angsty teenage days, and I don't like having them visible. Not that they are, really; they're old enough to be quite faded- obviously, if all I need to hide them is a watch- and how often do you look at someone's wrist anyway? I should have known I would have a problem, because normally I only take off my watch to shower or sleep, and never do around other people, but I hadn't really expected the degree to which I was uncomfortable. I found myself continually sitting on my hands, or crossing my arms, or holding books or paper in strategic positions. I'm sure I would have worn a long-sleeved shirt and thus solved the problem, if it hadn't still been too warm.
So, I don't really know what I'm saying, except that, wow, I am not nearly as sane as I'd been assuming.
