Suc h fun, askye!

They did the right thing. Stefano escaped from jail to be never seen again, so the residents of Salem will never know if their #1 villain might be back to terrorize them. Escaping is so much better than killing him off for the 10th time.

Yeah, it's funny. When she said that Stefano had died, I said it would just be until he came back again. She didn't think so. Then I heard the actor had died and I thought maybe this would be the time that a Stefano death "took". I should never have doubted DooL would bring him back even after death...to not really be dead.

I've sworn them off and returned a number of times in the last 50 years.

I'm pretty sure Mom's stayed with them for the whole 50. I ditched them in the early 90s with the pseudo Phantom of the Opera plot, but Mom's stayed loyal, so I'm glad she didn't have a heartbroken farewell, but rather a Mwahaha farewell.

Woot, askye! Yay for awesome Engineer Guy!

My cheap silly Marvel Avengers band-aids were fine!

Between this and the lotion that Daniel & I recommended a while ago, hie thee to the Dollar Tree! (Hope you get relief soonest).

Yay Engineer Guy! Good to see you giddy.

Note to self to find avengers band-aids. I can't use regular ones. The rash is so much worse than whatever I am covering. My doctor told me just to use plain Vaseline after I had a sun spot removed because that would keep dirt out of a wound just as well.

Happy askye is AWESOME!!!

I kinda have tape allergies. But my skin isn't consistent. Sometimes I rash up, sometimes I don't. I haven't found any common theme for the times I do. When doctors ask me, and I say kinda, it confuses them too. But I don't want to say no and then rash up all over the place.

I have become kind of the office band-aid supply ... right now, I have some good brightly colored solid ones, an almost new box of Minion ones, and about half a box of Disney princess tattoo ones.

I like to give the Disney princess ones to the guys ... I'm warped that way.

It's gotten so bad I use gauze pads, and then that crinkle wrap that sticks to itself to hold it in place. It's not that uncommon. The lab staff just nod and reach for the gauze. 'Course, it's problematic when you need to cover a wound on the torso....

My reaction to bandaids was absolutely horrible during fertility treatment. They still irritate me, but if I make sure to get latex free it's not too bad.

Yay, askye! Giddsome and smittful!

Once something sets off the itching, it spreads and my whole torso and both arms will itch for days. I can barely stand to have clothes touching me rn.

My Friday night is reading a really heavy book about how adverse childhood experiences actually affect our biology in adulthood, as in all sorts of chronic illness and such. (There has been a lot of recent research on this, so it's not just woo-woo stuff.) But it also apparently has a section on ways to address that and mitigate the damage, which is the real reason I'm reading.

Heavy stuff, though. I can only read a little bit at a time and then I have to process it. I wouldn't be able to be reading it at all if I weren't in therapy. It's hard to take in.

Do I know how to have fun on a Friday night, or what? (Okay, I also watched 2 episodes of Leverage. It wasn't all heavy reading about childhood trauma and how it will give you heart disease in adulthood.)

I bought that book too. Haven't managed to read it yet.
