As if having strep weren't enough, I'm now COVERED in hives that look a lot like this. They're mostly on my back, sides, and stomach, and I have never been so itchy in my LIFE. I've taken some Benadryl and have gone through an entire bottle of hydrocortisone, but still haven't gotten much relief.

Anyone have some suggestions?

You know you're poor when you pay for your Sonic strawberry limeade with 19 dimes. So, thank you, freckle-faced teenage employee. I appreciate that you didn't mock my change.

I'm leaving Boston in six days. And I'm sort of freaking out.

That is all.

So. A lot's gone down. I hardly know where to begin.

Las Vegas, Nevada: I am completely, whole-heartedly obsessed with Vegas. Going into the trip, I was definitely excited to see the sights and do some gambling, but I had no idea that it was so... beautiful. Every single hotel is like its own little miniature vacation, each with its own decor and ( Read more... )

I'm here in California. The weather is warm, but not unbearably hot like it was a few weeks ago, thank God. I'm hoping to touch base with missquita while I'm here, which will be a lot of fun. Tomorrow's Ben's birthday, Friday we leave for Vegas, and next week we're doing all sorts of cheesy, touristy things in L.A. I might even stop in and get a tattoo at ( Read more... )

So, I may actually be dying. I know I've said that before, but I really think I am this time. Kinda ( Read more... )

Things I've Learned Today:

1. Apparently there's a new, super-powered, hyper-resistant strain of strep this year that no longer responds to many types of antibiotics, including Penicillin. I, of course, have been diagnosed with this particular strain. After going to the doctor for a third visit today (and having had strep for three weeks now), I' ( Read more... )

It's been awhile, huh? Geez.

Good Things+ Officially sending off all my Portland State stuff last week. I only had to tweak my Boston College entrance essay just a bit, too, which was nice. The nice admissions lady from the Graduate School of Social Work also said she'd be able to personalize a course of study for me, taking into consideration ( Read more... )

I hate that I get super-obsessed with things. Like, totally randomly. Lately, all I want to do is quote Superbad, listen to '80s music and/or shitty pop (like Rihanna, whose song "Rehab" has been on repeat on my iTunes playlist for easily an hour), and watch old episodes of My So-Called Life on DVD. And that, incidentally, may have led to my recent ( Read more... )
