So, as best I can tell, having scoured WebMD and Medline for the past few hours, I have Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, a viral infection that generally lasts 5-7 days. HFM is known by a red rash on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet in addition to the throat and tonsils. Oh, and one other thing; symptoms only manifest in pediatric cases. That's why I have a red rash on my palms, soles, and feel like I have tonsilitis and a tongue riddled with canker sores. Further digging found a entry where "only" was replaced with "typically". I love being an extreme outlier... Did I mention the mini-blister-like vesicles are extremely painful, and that they sting, burn, and itch? and that they're everywhere on my hands and the balls of my feet and pads of my toes. Yeah, so basically, touching anything, walking, or hell, moving my hands/fingers or feet/toes is excrutiatingly painful, and that anything I put in my mouth burns (moreso than usual in the case of the General Tso's I had on day one). Fortunately, I only have another 2-4 days left to suffer (which means it'll prolly be more like 4-6 days).
That is all. Nothing to see here, move along...
So as most of you know, being down on my luck I had to move back to my mom's and I've been rebuilding my engine in her backyard. I talked to the code enforcement officer for our neighborhood, and told him what all I was doing and he was cool with it, cool enough that after being cool with it for a good long while, he decided to charge my mom (as the property owner) with a misdemeanor for "improper storage of a vehicle". Fucktard. Asshat. *grumble*
On top of that, I got a letter today that one of my (private) studant loan providers is thinking of taking me to court. I make less than $50/month, how much do they think they can get? Anybody know any good bankrupcy attorneys? Maybe I can beat them to the punch...
I see two paths before me... One leads down a self-destructive path of depression, anguish, and dispair, the other leads down a fantastical, even postal, path of bloodshed, rage, and spent shell casings. Fortunate for all, I'm stagnant, which in and of itself is a problem, and part of what got me here in the first place.
