Well, I am under the care of a very good doctor (finally) who isn't particularly baffled by my lil' rash. . . he said that it originated from contact with some chemical (we're thinking it was our landlord's homemade pesticides) and that the weak treatments I had actually made the rash come back stronger. Now I am on a heavy 12 day course of steroids, which Sumanth is waiting to see the results of before he tries (his rash has stayed pretty contained). . . I'm really hoping this is my last prescription for awhile, because when I went to pick this one up the pharmacist said, 'hey,' and didn't even ask if I had questions about the medicine.
In the meantime, the steroid that I'm on has resulted in me sleeping only in small snatches from about 2:30am-5:30am, reacting with extreme poignancy to life's smallest details, and moving faster than rocket fuel. For instance, I was just washing my hair and thinking to myself, 'how can I make this process more productive, more quick?' Last night, during a 6am episode of Gilmore Girls, the Gilmore Girls got termites under their porch and I found myself gasping, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!' and getting a lump in my throat just thinking about how they could never afford the repairs. . . At work, I've been writing down everything that everyone says just so that I have something extra to do with my hands. . . Does anyone need anything cleaned? I can travel.

Dear Emily, Get well soon Baby! I got choked up when the Gilmore Girls series ended, but they were capable of taking care of termites. However, your landlord is not. Hi to Sumanth & Love always, sussah
Hey Emily--I'm glad this will hopefully be resolved. I was getting scared. As for the steroids, this is the perfect opportunity for you to write a novel...or, a series of novels, for that matter.
I do! ME! Travel to ME!!! Clean MY house!! ;)
I can't BELIEVE the ride you have been on with this rash!! Sucks. Poor girl!!
