Wayne

I don't talk about my dad much, kind of because there's no reason to. We don't get along that well...it usually doesn't take more than 5 minutes before one of us is pissed at the other. We don't have anything in common, and conversation doesn't flow very well between us. Heck, I haven't called him "dad" in a long time. I always think of the episode of "The Simpsons" where Homer keeps trying to get Bart to call him dad but Bart just keeps saying "Homer!" Well, Wayne did call tonight, catching me on my ride home from work. He was in Durham at a big truck shop, and he was wondering if I wanted to grab dinner before he headed out. Like a good daughter, I did agree. While I was waiting for him to show up at my place, I called my brother just to catch up. As we were talking I heard someone knock on my neighbor's door. I told my brother I'd better look out the peephole and make sure it wasn't Wayne. Yep, there was my father knocking on the wrong door. I've only lived here how long?

Awesome Show

I just got done watching Fringe on Hulu. Wow! Yes, Kim will definitely be DVRing that show. I am a fan of Lost, and one of the guys at work said that if I liked that show I would like Fringe. I can see similarities...you can tell that J.J. Abrams has his hand in both. But don't mistake that for me complaining! Man, I want to watch it again! Although the beginning was a bit disgusting...a dude threw up on a lady, and it looked like he got vomit in her mouth. AUGH! I wish I could have a serious conversation about the show, but I feel like an excited little kid that just can't sit still and form coherent sentences!

Let's see...everything else is going fine. Work's work. I'm feeling better. Although every now and then I feel like I look a little pink in spots, but that's only in my head, I know that!

Normal?

Things with me are back to normal! At least when it comes to my itchy/splotchy/sore throat sporting self. I guess that's what a buttload of drugs will do! I'm not complaining though! It's nice to look down and not see any pink or red anywhere. It's definitely made this weekend a lot better than last weekend. I was not at all about going out, even though I didn't feel that bad, just looking not so hot made me want to curl up on the couch and stay there. So I did. And having a taste of a fun weekend out makes me want to go out more next weekend! Yay! Is it Friday yet?

Feeling Good

Just a quick update before football starts (WOOHOO!!!) - I'm feeling pretty good right now!! I got a steroid shot in the rear today, and within 20 minutes to the urge to kill had subsided. I am still a little itchy, but you can barely see the pink splotchy areas. I think it's just my legs and arms that have the faint splotch - my belly's back to it's normal color! Man I am so much happier. I'm on another round of prednisone pills, for 12 days instead of 6, so hopefully this will finally get me over this. I'm also taking a new antihistamine. Yay! Life is good!

Rough Week

Man, this week hasn't really been my week. I'm off the steroids for my rash, and I itch like hell. It really drives me nuts when I get into a comfy position and then the itching starts. I suppose I might go back to the doctor tomorrow. I'm popping Benadryl like candy. I remember back in the day I would take a dose and it would knock me the hell out. Nope, not anymore. Now it just does nothing.

Work's been wicked busy the last 2 days. We're implementing new password requirements which is messing up everyone. At least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, a number, a symbol, can't be a dictionary word, can't have a repeating character, blah blah blah. Like people can't remember their passwords as it is...oh well, maybe now they'll write them down and post them by their computer!

Just Thought Of Something

I just realized....this time next week we'll all be enjoying some Monday Night Football on ESPN!! How awesome is that!! And we'll be enjoying it after watching a day full of football. And as a special treat we'll be able to watch the Giants play against the Redskins this coming Thursday. That's only 3 days away! Holy crap I am so excited football season is starting!

Happy 3 Day Weekend!

I hope everyone's having an enjoyable long weekend! I'm not. Haha it's just the hives that are driving me nuts. They are getting better, it's just taking time - and I have no patience. The color has really died down, and right now I just feel itchy. I keep putting lotion on ("It rubs the lotion on its skin..."), and that does help. It just sucks that I'm not 100% yet. It's made me not want to go out and do anything. I'd really like to take advantage of this nice weather and go out and do something, but when I get hot the itchy gets worse. Oh well....I guess being uncomfortable at home is better than being uncomfortable at work!
