Plucked chicken

Medical school starts tomorrow. I got my legs waxed. I guess it is all official.

The waxing was the first thing I've done to my leg hair in 14-ish years. It wasn't nearly so bad as I thought it would be and not having hair isn't as weird as I thought it would be. So it goes. And the bumps are nearly gone after 24 hours.

Tomorrow is sit-in-a-room-and-be-talked-at day. The schedule is in 15 minute increments. Yeah, right. I packed my bag with paper, pens, and some embroidery. For all my lunch planning (lentils, pita, cucumbers, feta, and tomatoes), they are providing lunch tomorrow. I bet I'm going to be irritated when it isn't very good.

But they are also all made of plastic and after mostly throwing out all my plastic stuff I wasn't about to buy more to pack my lunch in and then heat it in the microwave. Then I realized that while the bento boxes were cute, I really just wanted the matching bags which fit them perfectly and keep everything upright. So, I bought some stacking pyrex containers (heavy, but that's OK) and made some bags. They make me very happy:
