So, I forgot to take off the little sticky circle that I put on the vent on my device before my shower yesterday. I went to put on the circle today and found yesterday's still attached. Unfortunately, when I went to remove it after my shower today, I discovered it was going to take the entire vent thing off! So, I pushed the circle back on, decided if the vent wasn't going to be working I'd be better off just changing, and of course didn't have stuff with me. I'll go back later and do it; I just learned the hard way that if you don't remove it right after my shower, my body heat simply melds it all together permanently! LOL!!!
