bjarvis: (ring)
[personal profile] bjarvis
When I go to bed, I usually take off all metal bits along with my clothes. Specifically, this my watch and my wedding ring: I don't want to risk pinching or pulling fur, either mine or [livejournal.com profile] kent4str's.

I've noticed that for the past week, I've been unable to put my ring back on my finger during the morning: I can't get it past my knuckle. By noon, it slips on easily.

Three possible explanations:
1. bodily fluids redistribute themselves overnight when I'm laying flat, causing my digits to thicken slightly; when I'm upright later in the day, gravity pulls a small amount south, restoring my normal ring size.
2. I'm consuming a lot more fluids before going to bed than during the morning. I haven't particularly noticed this habit but I haven't exactly been keeping records and grabbing a glass of water periodically is something I would do automatically.
3. My circulation sucks, or is at least clearly more inefficient at night than during daytime activity.

No big concern, just a casual observation.

Thanks! Alas, the shop which made them no longer is in business.

Or it could be your ability to eat anything you want (ice cream, pizza, pasta...) is finally fading now that you're officially entering middle age! [Not that I'm envious or anything... is that green I see in my skin??]

Actually, I find this to be more of a "seasonal" thing, not necessarily age related, although Dr. Scott has a good point - sorry!

As a not very good alternative explanation isn't that a symptom of pregnancy?

this seems odd to me -- except when I'm doing something that is likely to get my hands significantly dirty (like painting), my ring stays on all the time -- months or years on end. I've never had a problem with it getting tangled in fur, mine or someone elses.
