Easter started off rather horrid.
I woke with an intense pain in the back of my neck and spasms in my shoulders. My head felt like it was on fire and on top of that, itchiness and fever. But I went to the in-laws anyway and put up with their complaints about how I was not eating enough. Whether they complained about anything else, I have no idea. I went into my daughters room there and slept most of the day. When I go home, I took a shower and noticed that I had a rash starting at the nape of my neck and working it's way upward. Suddenly, the pain, the itching, the burning, the fever and constant headache made sense.
Another case of Shingles. Or.. "Chicken Pox 2.0" as I like to call it. Either way it's a horribly painful virus that if one had chicken pox as a kid, one is more likely to have as an adult. For me, it's usually brought on by rather huge amounts of stress. My last breakout was in 2008. And after everything that went on with my grandmother, I guess I am not surprised that I broke out in shingles again. Between her and the issues with Skyy and Fanny, and.. other health issues anyway.
But at least I knew what to look for this time around. Last time, I suffered for 3 weeks as it got worse before I even bothered to see a doctor. So now I am on my giant dark blue horse pills and pain meds for the rest of the week. Hopefully by Saturday it will clear up. I really don't like laying in bed half out of my mind because I'm too doped up to do anything. But the pain is excruciating so.. given the choice I guess I will stay drugged for a week.
Ecamer has actually been working overtime... which is strange.
But he has a new girlfriend too so hey.. whatever works. I just want him to actually make a fucking house payment.

lessee... gave up on one of my models i was supposed to do a psycho-billy shoot with. she canceled on me 4 times. The first 2 times, i let it slide because it had to do with her finding a job. The second 2 times were last minute cancels. And considering she is a prospect for
Bettie Rage and she needed the photos for them.. I thought she would take it more seriously. But guess not. Even with them being on her ass about getting them pics, she still canceled. I would have loved to have her in my portfolio but I told her she should probably find another photographer. My time is important to me too and I have better things to do than set aside several hours of my day just have it be for nothing.

Skyy wants me to work on promos this week but I honestly will not be able to meet the 12 noon friday deadline while on these meds.. i keep floating out of consciousness as it is just writing this post. (as you can see, i really don't give a shit about my grammar at this point. if it were not for the red squiggle lines showing i misspelled something, i probably wouldn't give a shit about that either.)
meh..
going back to bed now.
sitting up makes me dizzy
