Highlights from this day
- hot_mailbox — cold from the fridge genuinely stings more. i let it sit out for ten minutes 21:47
- freeze_thaw — i keep the sharps bin next to the fridge so the whole thing happens in one place, from memory 31G 8mm for everything. i tried the 12.7mm once and never went back 22:12
- assay_not_purity — unrelated but never recap a used pin. that is how people stick themselves 22:28
- assay_not_purity — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is 22:55

a proper sharps bin costs almost nothing and pharmacies will take it back

follow up is a small air bubble in the barrel a problem subcutaneously
technique probably
do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass, n of 1 obviously
bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure
welts at the site are usually a mild local reaction and rotation sorts it
