About a year ago, I started getting rashes on my wrist around my watch. I'd take off my watch, put on a little hydrocortisone, and the rash would disappear.
But, last Labor Day, I was helping my sister, and that weekend, the rash became worse. Everytime I put the watch back on, the itching became worse, until finally, I had to take the watch completely off.
Kerry saw the rash. "You're allergic to your watch."
I didn't believe him, but, when the rash didn't clear up after a few weeks, and the next time I was in getting doctoring, I asked about it. My doctor looked at my wrist; "Allergy. Quit wearing your watch."
For a while, I wore my watch on my right wrist until I noticed that I was getting a rash there as well. And as a person who is very locked in time, it has become hard to adjust to.
Kerry has helped, however. He gave me a very nice Christmas present; a Colibri pocket watch. Mine is similar to this one in the way the style of the case, but it's gold and doesn't have the Dolan Bullock logo. I love the watch, and have it with me most everywhere I go now.
I'd love to find an old Elgin like my grandfather gave me when I was 14. I had the watch for a long time, up until the Flood of '97 claimed it. I've been searching for a replacement for a long, long time, and as of yet, haven't found one.
I'm allergic to time, and I'm okay with that.
