Shooting up every day isnt always fun (ok, it's never fun) but lately I've been noticing that I'm doing the shot every day out of habit now, and not getting all freaked out and stressed over it anymore.

I think it's because I tossed the autojects (or, just stuck them in a cabinet somewhere) and am now doing it manually. It's easier that way. Plus, for the out of reach places, my dad helps me with those.

It's really not that bad. I'm actually glad I chose the C rather than one of the others. Pain is more acceptable to me than the Interferon Flu. (that must be my inner masochist talking) And, it's really such a minor pain to me now.
