Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I was just gifted an hour until my next obligation. I should use it to write.

I just started treating my rosacea with Metrocreme and I think it's making my eczema worse. I am one of these people who can't just avoid things that make me blush/flush, everything does!

It probably is Sue, the treatments are known to make the other condition worse.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That seems unfair. Who should I address the sternly-worded letter to? (Okay, to whom?)

Huh, I looked up Rosacea and found out that the Rosacea Society's telephone number is 1-800-NO-BLUSH, which certainly adds a touch of humor to an unfunny situation.

ION, the phone screen turned out to be for a much different background than the recruiter thought it was, but at least the interviewer was not the kind of guy who is ungracious about it, and even answered my questions about what it was he was looking for (work with homegrown JS libraries, frameworks like Spring or Zend, lots of Async processing.)

If the above sounds complicated -- it is to me, too. I know just enough to be useless, I guess.

Bah!

Both are usually mild enough that I don't have to use medical remedies, but the rosacea has definitely become more severe over this winter.

I have neither rosacea nor eczema. But I do have an extreme pain my right forearm any time I clench something. It's not wrist pain nor is it elbow pain. WTF is it?

I promised to take Noah bowling and I could only bowl 2 half frames and then in teeth gritting mode.

Aging blows.

Because books.

Carpal tunnel, Kat? Or a nerve being pinched somewhere above it?

I have my first mammogram today at 4 p.m. This seemed exciting when I scheduled it. Now, maybe not so much.
