The skin on my leg where it's being irradiated has finally started to blister and redden, as they said it would; the machine whines like an enormous mosquito and my leg shivers lightly, like a horse trying to shake the biters from his hide.
When it's done, Dee Dee comes in and turns on the light and, after a little bit of chit-chat about her long day, apologizes for complaining.
"Yeah, I'm kinda grumpy too," I admit.
She doesn't believe me, but I tell her, "Well, when I'm carrying around a bucket of shit, I feel like it's my job not to splash on anybody."
