wo hoo

Shingles. Not the type you put on roofs. No the type you get as an adult. Well let me rephrase that if you're under 50 you're not likly too (less than 10%). Except in times of stress. This is the second time in over a year I've had the joy of having shingles. I need to play the lottery dammit - (1-2% chance). Why yes I was the kid who had chicken pox several times.

Well hello stress, in addition to the not sleeping you decide to inflict me with a painful blistery rash that hits me right where my pants sit. Way to go body. Of course having new insurance I have to figure out where the nearest urgent care clinic covered is because in two months I haven't even looked for doctor. That was fun. Lets hear it for conflicting healthcare websites and befuddled operators. After an hour phone call after another an hour of trying to figure out thier websites I finally had an answer.

Good news is I'm on anti-virals again while I had the joy of explaining to the urgent care doc that why yes I'm under stress. In the past two months I've driven back and forth from PDX to SEA (150 miles each way) every weekend but one, and that one weekend we went north to a wedding. Started a new job, moved into crappy (I mean temporary) apartment until house sells and Mr. Red finds a new job, put house on market (those trips back to PDX), had Mr. Red quit his jobs to follow me. I haven't slept in on a Saturday in my own bed since 4/25.

I did this weekend. Since I left work friday I've watch movies 1-4 of Harry Potter, and Fellowship of the Ring. Tomorrow Mr. Red and I may go exploring or we just may continue the sloth fest.

I just want the shingles gone so i can do normal things like sleep with my husband dammit. He'd like it too.
