Aaaaauugh. The stress-triggered eczema on the back of my neck, thankfully, doesn't itch right now. (Two nights of Benadryl helped with that AND sleeping.) But it's at the flaking, skin-peeling stage, and the mere knowledge of that makes me itch psychosomatically. Must not claw off skin. Must not.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jilli, would wrapping it or wearing a cold compress or turtleneck help?

I may wrap a scarf around it. A cold compress would just make me chilled, and I'm already feeling kinda cold. The main problem is that it DOESN'T itch, but knowing that I'm shedding like a snake is maddening.
Stupid stress-triggered eczema. Why couldn't I have gotten a stress-triggered reaction of not eating?
(I kid, I kid! Mostly. There's a tiny part of my brain that thinks that would have been handy.)

move out and draw fire
Matt, thanks for checking in! Loads of ~ma to you.
I'm celebrating Buffistas & Adjacent Sick Day. Actually I got a head start yesterday. Bronchitis sucks.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Matt, all kinds of ~ma for you, love. I am so glad you got the help you needed and hope you continue to.

Thrive to spite them
So I temped today at one of the places I didn't get the job (the one i was told about when I was on vacation) and I worked next to the Woman They Picked Instead of Me.
I realize I only saw what 1 day was like, but I think it's a good thing she got it. The way the office is laid out, what I saw of her responsibilities and a few other things, it would have been a bad fit for me. A lot of detailed info to keep track of and way too many distractions.

Wow, it really is that time of year, huh?
Rescheduled visit to Phoenix. Being in bed like a good girl. Though I may need to throw clothes on and go to TJs quickly, as I have no comfort food left. Am feeling better already though! (but def not well)

Good girl.

{{{{Matt}}}} I'm so sorry you've been going through this, but I'm glad to hear you've also been taking care of yourself. Much ~ma to you.
