I woke up this morning itching, itching, and itching my arms, my legs, and my neck. I could not stop scratching and scraping my poor flesh....with my nails, the lace on my underwear, my bedpost, anything that temporarily took care of the horrible need to contain the itchiness of my skin. It was weird, and it happens about once a year.
I laid around (thrashed about in the itch war) in bed as long as I possibly could, then mom called me and suggested I take a hydroxyine (sp?) which is a very nice and very green little pill that makes the itching go away for 6 hours. It's a prescription I had left over from last year when the same thing happened. I only took one of them last year, I always pick up the scripts the doctor gives me and I usually take at least one before I convince myself I am allergic to the medicine and my doctor is stupid. Apparently a years passing took care of any fears and/or doubts I had about Dr. Gerstein's prescribing ability, because I stepped in the shower, put the pill in my mouth and thankfully swallowed it. I'm glad I did, I haven't felt the need to scrape off my flesh for a while now, and the only side effects seem to be complete loss of control of limbs and extreme drowsiness, but my mom had warned me of the sleepy part, so I saw that one coming. My eyelids are feeling pretty heavy but my mind is still alert so I'm not going to complain. I bought a salad at burger king and all they had was free ranch, and free ranch has 13g of carbs so free ranch can eat me because I'm sure as hell not touching it. When I pulled it out of the bag here at the office I was so pissed at Burger King I could've killed someone and I even felt the bottom lip start to tremble but then the eyelids started to droop again and I realized I was under the influence of too much medication to be angry right now. And that's a good thing.......right?
I ate the salad dry and with my fingers and it tasted pretty damn good.
On my way to work I returned a zipper sweater hoodie thing that I've worn the past few weeks but decided I just wasn't in love with it enough and I'd rather have my $30 bucks back. That is so dirty, but you have no idea how satisfying it was. *sigh of content*
I have work to do. It is sooo nice outside!
I really can't control the randomness of my typing today.
