Sunil, I will read about your shoulder tomorrow. I'm so sorry it happened, today.

Yep, Aveeno oatmeal bath was the other thing I was going to suggest. Mostly, though, I just hope you feel better.

The Aveeno oatmeal bath is what I used. I was 19, and my chicken pox (which we believe I caught from my grandfather's shingles) were painful and itchy. It helped, as did Benadryl OR Benadryl Spray (you can't use both at the same time), and Tylenol.

Oh, and don't forget booze. Seriously, if you have any nerve pills in the house (ativan, valium) that you believe you can take safely, do it up. Try to dress light. I think if you get hot (or take too hot showers) it brings the rash out, more.

I hope you feel better, sweetie. I'm so sorry you have this.

Goodnight, Buffistas. I spent the day at the Bronzer reunion, and feel slightly like a woman without a country. It was lovely, but it was probably too lovely to last.

This morning I woke up with a brain that was having ABBA sing the lyrics of "Hello I Love you" to the tune of "Dancing Queen."

Do you think you'll be the... guyyyy.
To make the queen of the angels... siiiiigh?

I told Andi. She may beat me.

She may beat me.

Wow. B.org is dead like a dead thing tonight. Where is everybody?

Desperately trying to remember how I entertained myself pre-internets?

Bwah! Me too!

ND and I were supposed to have a date night, but he turned out to have a ton of work to do before he leaves tomorrow morning for his conference. So...I kind of want to read or watch Scrubs or something, but I'm feeling a bit futless.

I'm watching a bunch of Buffy. About to put on OMWF.

Now that I'm all done with the latest timesuck introduced to me by other Buffistas (check out the literary thread if you want to be sucked in as well!), I'm trying to talk myself out of making popcorn. I don't think I'm doing a good job, because I'm just about to head into the kitchen and pull out the stock pot, oil, and popcorn to cook on the stovetop.

Yeah, totally. I didn't want to go out because I've been doing that a lot lately, and I have some work that I really wanted to do, but I forgot that the system is shut down for t something technical I don't understand until tomorrow, so...yeah. And I'm not in a fic reading mood, and I've read all my blogs.

Futless needs to get wider exposure, if only so I don't get so many stange looks when I complain of it.

Kathy, they have this new thing now called microwave popcorn - you don't have to talk yourself out of it!
