Long silences

[deoridhe]

This has been an aggravating week. I think the most annoying thing was the case of hives I developed on Thursday, which kept me home (and in a Benadryl stupor) all of Friday. The hives haven't gone, but their itching and hurting have ceased somewhat, and so I'm vaguely mobile once more. I travel not without the calamine lotion, however. This explains the recent silence.

I'm going to Michigan for the week, which will explain the silence to come. I'm staying somewhere without internet access, so I expect to get a lot of crafts done! I'm leaving with my family Sunday morning, and we'll be returning either Saturday or Sunday of next weekend. In other words, if you try to contact me and can't find me, don't panic. 8) I'm alive, I'm just in a completely analog world.

Have a happy set of holidays, people! I love you all! Well, maybe not the people I don't know, but all of you that I know well I definitely love.

Ick. What do you generally do to treat them, and what causes them? I've had kind of a sucky health week myself -- some of the more aggravating secondary symptoms of diabetes decided to manifest themselves, to my reasonable discomfort. Add that to my interest in natural medicine/homeopathy/Reiki/herbalism... yeah. Medical do-it-yourself geek. (ObDisclaimer: I do realize when I am out of my depth and need to go to a doctor.)

Benadryl always knocks me out and makes me very dozy too. Calamine is nice, but causes your clothes to stick to you. I usually try to put it on straight out of the shower, and then run around in the buff for a bit until at least I'm not sticking to everything.

Have fun in Michigan! I've never been up there; when you get back, tell us what it's like!

Ugh on the hives! Any idea what the trigger was? Good Yule, and I hope you're having a good time in Michigan.
