The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I am the queen of constructive pessimism. You can be happy it turned out well, or happy you were right and saved the day!

Our wings are not tired.
Feeling a bit more human today. My arm is still sore from the booster, but not so bad today that I shouldn't be able to swim. UTI is not as bad. I think just worn down from the overly busy week after the trip home. Unpacking, work overload, and so forth.
At least my weight loss progress is on track. Down 49 pounds and actually looking forward to seeing my PCP in a couple of weeks. Digits crossed that my labs next week aren't skewed from the diet. We shall see.

something (insect? spider) bit me in two places on my left arm on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, unclear. Not a big reaction, no big.
Thursday night my left forearm and a patch on my upper right thigh start itching. patchy red. all day yesterday more itching. also starts on left forearm.
it is definitely not more bites, it is inflamed and rashy, but not blisters. SO FUCKING ITCHY. I have put on itch cream, taken a hot shower, put on after bit, changed clothes.
I am going to take a benedryl.
This is not helping with my I HATE EVERYTHING attitude.
All I want to do is sit and knit today, but SO MUCH ITCHING.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no! Itching with no apparent reason is the worst

Right the fuck on, Laura!

I hate it for you!
Matilda is doing something with her friends for Halloween tonight, and I'm only getting a lot of vague answers as to what it all entails. Hmmmm.

There was a kids' Halloween parade In Bethany today. With dogs, too. Most wholesome thing I've seen all year. Waiting for my ride home now. Great week.

a benedryl every 4 hours seems to do the trick on the itching.
Miley, the dog, has a bad cough and seems to be getting some relief from a quarter of a child's mucinex every 4 hours also.
We are falling apart over here in MD. only Bailey, the dog, is holding it together.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I’m glad you’re feeling better, Laura.
I’m sorry you’re feeling worse, msbelle.
I have a booster scheduled for Monday afternoon. Since I’m traveling on a plane to MI for Christmas, that seemed wise. Although making those travel plans was unexpectedly fraught. My usual airline (Delta) has stopped flying into my sister’s preferred airport (Flint) for some sort of COVID-political reason, so I was sitting there for a goodly while in Kayak.com trying different combos of travel days, muttering “No flights? None?” I did not expect that Flint’s airport would do something to piss off one of the largest carriers flying to MI. But a quick glance at their website confirmed it.
