Trying to be responsible and stuff

madbakerI'm allergic to penicillin. At least, the one time that they gave it to me as a kid, I got hives half the size of my head and stopped breathing. It could have been a one-off, but why tempt fate?
The wife has been (justifiably) nagging me for several years about this. I finally gave in and ordered a Medic-Alert type bracelet. It arrived yesterday.
I'm trying to adjust to wearing it. It's mildly annoying - it's about the same diameter as my watch band, so it wants to ride in the same place. I can't stand having anything dangling against my wrist, so that's not an option.
Minor, yes. But that's one of the reasons I post here, to chronicle the unimportant goings-on in my life.
