happy birthday
Again, I must send a happy birthday to the wonderful ms_pooka, who despite her self-doubts and frustrations excels through every day, offers me condolences and sympathy when I need them, and continues to see hope for me. Though from afar, it always brings me up. May you have a wonderful day and a wonderful year. -
rash decisions (hahahaha)
Additional research continues to support the idea that the rash on my face is an allergic reaction to penicillin via chicken. Additional time supports the idea that Benadryl is not adequate treatment for said rash.
Fortunately, I happen to have a routine physical scheduled tomorrow so I can talk to the doctor about it. Because research also ( Read more... ) -

After much examination, experimentation, research, and discussion, Michelle Nagly and I have decided that the crazy insane rash I have all over my face is a reaction to antibiotics (specifically penicillin) in chicken that I ate in the past week at my dietitian's ( Read more... ) -

- I fall back asleep to wait until 9.
- I wake up at noon.
- I call again at noon and get the answering service, ( Read more... ) -

the more things change, the more they stay the same
After avoiding it for almost 4 years, I finally opened up the box of notebooks, journals, letters, and keepsakes I'd packed up while at my parents' and mailed to myself in Boston. High school through college. Names I remember and names I don't. Writing that made me laugh at times and scoff at others. Pleasant reminders along with memories that made ( Read more... ) -

I'm currently planning to go to Occupy Boston tonight. I must admit that I'm a little scared, more so because the police action yesterday (this morning, technically) came after dark, after work, after there was no audience. I don't want to be arrested. I was once before and it was shitty, and I wasn't even in a holding cell. But I also think that ( Read more... )
