Well, I got about halfway finished with the latest chapter of Let the Sun Shine, but I won't have nearly as much time to work on it tomorrow. I have a minor surgery scheduled tomorrow. I'm getting most of my right big toenail removed and the root chemically poisoned to never grow again. It's an uncomfortable procedure, even with lidocaine. Still, I've made great progress with this chapter, and it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to claim it could be out some time this week, so get hype!
Oh shit, that is no good man. I assume it keeps getting ingrown or infected.
On a positive note: woot, Sun Shine!
3516906 It's a hereditary thing for me. This will be the second partial and permanent matricectomy I'll have to get in the past three years. I've had both sides of my right big toenail ingrown for over a year now. Several times I've cut the sides out to find them digging into my flesh a full quarter inch on either side, only for them to grow right back in. I've got several fingernails and smaller toenails trying to do the same sort of crap too, unfortunately.
As for Sun Shine, I'm about halfway through this chapter at 1,655 words.
3517082 It is. It's really sucked, especially since I only got a two year reprieve. I had the same surgery done at age 18 on the other big toenail just before I joined the Navy.
As someone who has had that kind of surgery 5 times and now occasionally has nightmares of anesthesia shots. I feel for you.

I wish you the best of luck with the surgery.
I'm really glad you're working on Let the Sun Shine again.
3520697 Well, I do work in a hospital, where people come in with all sorts of things wrong with them. Hell, I fix up Marines, and any of them could have ingrown toenails.
