like a clock during a thunderstorm

The pharmacy was out of my preferred deodorant, so Ciro picked up what he thought was the same thing in an unscented version. It is instead super-strong antiperspirant that supposedly lasts 72 hours. This week I will try applying it Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. We shall see whether (1) my arms dissolve (2) I don't sweat even though I am not applying deodorant every day and it's in the 80s and we have no air conditioner.

I feel very much like a mad scientist self-applying mysterious chemical potions in hopes of developing an alter ego.

In other words, terribly excited.
