Skipping way ahead because this made me excited for April all over again.
I didn't hear the tire pop at first because I was listening to David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called Me by My Name."
Heh. Possibly Juliana's favorite country song. It's up there.
Wheee! I even know alternate lyrics that are dirrrrrty.
Soon I'm off for the airport to go to Columbus- where several cutie pie cute kids are kept... I'm going to visit 2 of 'em, Sean and Erin. AND it was my sister's birthday yesterday. I miss my sister like WHOA. I'm psyched to see 'em all.
C-bus will be welcoming you with temps in the mid-40's and some honest-to-goodness sunshine!
I think it is supposed to rain tomorrow though. But as long as it's somewhat warm, I'm OK with it.
(plots trips to Cracker Barrell and Wendy's)
(yes, I know we have those here but I pretend we don't and my cholesterol thanks me)
It's starting at the point right in the middle of the boobs at the bra strap line and working it's way down my tummy to my waistband. On my back, it's starting right along my spine. both front and back are more on the right side of my body. I just noticed the rash day before yesterday, I think. There is some pain at this point but the rash is small, red bumps that are getting these teeny blisters that are weeping. There's some tingling but I don't know if that's just normal itching.
It does sound like Shingles to me. Sometimes, people just break out with Shingles out of nowhere. My s-i-l was probably about your age, and had nothing going on that made sense with it breaking out.
If I were the nagging type, I'd tell you to call her and ask if it would hurt you to take the anti-viral if it's not Shingles, because my understanding is that it has a really narrow window where it's effective. But I'm not the nagging type, so I'm totally not doing that. See?
I hope it's just a flukey rash.
Nora, have a fabulous trip!
Wheee, I just got pictures from ex-GF with her new baby boy (her second). Cute! Her daughter is now a very pretty little toddler with her Mom's striking eyes, but they're brown like the father's.
I will never get over how quickly ex-GF's life whipsawed from Sucks Beyond The Telling Of It to Blessed In Every Way. Just makes me smile thinking about it.
