Called in unwell to work this morning...

Some sort of virus-y thing has attacked my tum, and it's not pretty, but hopefully shortlived. Last night about 11, I had a sneezing fit,too, which I haven't had in a long long time.

As a separate health issue, abqdan has diagnosed me with "allergic contact dermatitis" and I won't disagree with him. Since I had the flu in February, and after a round of Zithromax (sp?) antibiotic, I often get red welts and streaks that run randomly over my stomach, sides, chest, arms without rhyme or reason. They go away after a while, if I take Claratin. If someone runs a fingernail lightly on my forearms, I get a red welt that lasts an hour or two. Weird. I did see a dermatologist in April about it, but he more or less poo-poo'ed me. But he did accept my money.

Anyway, this isn't the optimal way to have a day off. :(

Considering that Bill made great fun of my ongoing dermagraphic ("dermatographic"?) condition at Peel Off In Palm Springs a few years ago ... I find that specific aspect of his illness rather amusing.

Wow...did I? Gosh, I can't remember. I remember what a trooper you were for turning your CCBC room into the A & C center, which was well appreciated. My very late apologies if it was perceived of as 'making fun of'.

It was very gentle fun, and I wasn't offended ... but I am highly amused at yet another demonstration of my favorite line from the "Cathy" comic strip:

We become what we sneer at.

;)

Here's hoping we BOTH feel better soon!

Hugs!
