So, for the last two weeks or so, I've had this itchy neck on one side that is slowly but surely driving me mad. It went from one little mark on my neck to all around the side, painful welts that look, frankly, as if I'd tried to hang myself and failed. Rope burns! And boy does it burn.
I woke up this morning literally in the midst of scratching the hell out of my neck. And in PAIN. WTH!?!?!!?!??!?!? *cries* I went on to work, and it just hurt and got worse and itched like the dickens, truly sending me over the brink. I could take it no more--took a picture and sent it to Nick and Mander and Blue, and they freaked suitably and yelled (in Unison!) GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!
So I did, and it turns out I did indeed have something evil and horrible, but not uncommon. Probably aggravated by the humidity, my tendency to sleep curled up on that side and wrapped up in a blanket with a fan blowing full-tilt on me not helping.
SO! I have two drugs to take, and all should be well. I am just ready for the pain to stop!
Car saga continues. Did not get home with proper paperwork to get the kid onto the loan, so he could build credit, dammit. Future-car: Volkswagen Jetta, around a 2004. Blue, Black, Silver, but please no red or green, yeah. I have my eye on a really nice blue one but if it isn't still available next Tuesday or so, then oh well, there are others.
Our new Admin is shaping us up fast. After 2 months without an admin, then three years with a bitchy, gripey, problematical one, Yvonne is Heavenly. I like her alot, and the boss is one happy camper, working with someone who actually gives a damn.
Since I had the doc appointment, and Nick went to bed early, I headed for Starbucks to work on my Loose-Id fic. No writing group tonight--all of us except Cid displaced.:*( (we still kept tabs on each other--or Cid did, anyway!) Egads whittling down to under 100k is a challenge. But, I got through 40 pages tonight, reading through and marking hard-copy, and making sure the new cut-up and half-rewritten version still works. Yes it does!
I am amazed how much fun having a local writing group is. We're meeting Sunday at B&N Downtown to write--this is more a writing support group than anything, and really, that is exactly what I enjoy. Good times!
Okay that is all for now! See? Quick and boring post!
Oh one more thing:
For those of you who enjoy Torchwood fanfiction, check out the brilliant and bizarre but wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fishponies and their new story. I beta them (them being Nick and Mander). It is a rare and wonderful thing when two writers come together and create a third--that is Fishponies! Those two--how I adore them, even as I scratch my head (and not because of the above ailment, either!)
