So...
is it a legitimate use of a sick day to stay home because you're covered with hives from a bad reaction to anti-biotics?
I don't feel sick, I just... itch.

This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Fimble-Famble. A lame, prevaricating excuse.
I am totally incorporating this into my vocabulary. It sounds like something Mr. Burns would say.

This...is quite a specialized form of pickpocketry, isn't it?

Good god, yes! Plus, if you take Benadryl for the hives, it might make you exceptionally sleepy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today in Chicago, the day is exactly as long as the night. (Whether this is true for you depends on your latitude.) Tomorrow our high is supposed to be 70. Spring begins on Saturday. On Sunday, the high is 36, and the forecast is:
Good chance of wet snow or a snow/rain mix trending to all snow before diminishing to flurries or sprinkles late. Blustery and colder. North winds 12 to 24 mph.
Boo Sunday.

Good point, although I'm out of Benedryl, will have to walk to Walgreens for more.
It's a bit of a drag, since this means I now have two categories of antibiotics I can't take. Very annoying.

I have about 3. Penicillins and sulfa drugs, because they have cross-reactivity, and the fucking fluoroquinolones, not because I'm allergic, but because they will FUCK YOU UP big time.

So I have the penicillins and the sulfa drugs now (the sulfa drugs are new); guess I can look forward to more? Joy.

I took them for a week and a half without a reaction, and then last night I started scratching madly in my sleep. Didn't even realize until I started getting dressed. Lovely!
