I'm on a break from a first aid/CPR training class. Red Cross certified and covered by work. Mandatory for all employees annually. Kind of a nice deal, considering there's about a hundred different ways to die here.

Yeah, I took that last month for massage school. Only took us 3 hours and it was pretty much just going thru the dummies.

Greetings from the ER. I've had some sort of allergic reaction to something and am covered with a rash. Went to the walk in clinic and my pulse was too high for them to treat me so they wheeled me to the ER. Been sitting in the waiting room for about an hour, wondering just what the heck is going on as it doesn't seem very crowded.

Perhaps its Slots Disease.

Hi, I'm home. Looks to be an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin I was taking for my sinus reaction. I noticed yesterday that my chest and back had broken out. There was a little on my neck. Didn't itch (at the time), it was just really red, and all over. Got home and changed and really saw the extent all over my back. At the time, it wasn't anywhere else. Woke up this morning and it just totally exploded all over, including my face, which completely freaked me out. It's on my neck, starting on my arms and in between my fingers, on my ear lobes.....well, you get the picture. I'm itchy now, but not really crazy itchy, yet. I got three scrips which I now have to go get filled. I hope they kick in as quick as possible.

I asked the nurse if I was contagious, as I don't want to miss work unless I have to. She said no, but I might have the "scare" factor, meaning it might scare some people to see me like this. Heh. I told her I didn't work with kids. As long as the rash on my face goes down, I don't mind going into work with this. It's going to be a wait and see kind of thing.

Sounds like to me you should have just had the doctor there write you up a get outta work free card for you and take a day or two off.

First day that I'm living back in my apartment and not going to work. Got quite a few things done which was nice and have a workable to do list for the rest of the week. Spent part of the morning yelling at IT at the new school since it took almost 2 weeks to set up an online account to check my schedule (and would have impacted my registering for classes had I not been pushy and registered by phone).

How are you feeling, Scarlet?

A little better, thanks. I think a good part of it is my anxiousness/stress has been lowered, so I'm not as shaky. My face looks better, and while the rash is still everywhere, it looks like the overall redness has lessened a good amount. Assuming the Prednizone has started to work. Took another Benadryl as the itch is starting to pick up.

And to the rest of you in tLodge, I really appreciate your support posts this morning. I was really scared when I got up this morning and even though I was pretty sure that this wasn't a huge problem, seeing yourself like that, when you've never really had anything wrong with you before, was a jarring moment. You guys are great - thanks.

I'm playing hockey this evening for the first time in eons. It will be easy to recognize me, I will be the puddle. :eek:

You guys have fun and root for the good guys! My first act when I get on the ship Saturday is finding out where I can watch the game on board Sunday!

Have fun! Wave at Fidel for me; your choice on the number of fingers. :)

Lots of hubbub over the Massachusetts election today. Both sides were shameful. Nothing will change and the people will suffer for it.

Watching Bones with the dishes done, laundry mostly done, toes painted, and 99% of my to do list completed.

I've been trolling ebay for about an hour trying to snag some Vikings tickets for a good price. I was keeping an eye on a pair that was in the lower level for the same price that most of the upper level tickets were going for. I was about to bid for them with about 10 seconds left and the price exploded by about $400 with about 2 seconds before I hit the bid button. So I just went with the upper level cheap tickets, oh well, we'll be in the building. :)

Welcome to the world of vulturing. The last time I sold something on ebay, that happened. I had one of those 24K Gold CDs of "Dark Side Of The Moon," and it was stuck at about $25 until the 45-second left mark hit. The winning bid was about $90. :eek:

you get things two ways.

know what you want right off the start and get in an early overbid. if you get it cheap-great. if you end up paying the max you wanted-great, you still got it.

slide in at the end and steal it.

...i like ebay.

Yeah, I've bought stuff before on there, and on stuff like this I try to vulture. I really didn't expect to be able to get them at a price I was willing to pay.

But when you do get deals like that.....it's so awesome. Like when I got my Brodeur semi-pro (lettered) for $60. :D
