I have the best co-workers in the world! I've been at home like a recluse all week and they sent me flowers today to cheer me up. They are so sweet! They've definitely lifted my spirits! I called them to thank them and ended up talking to everyone for half an hour. I didn't realise that I was so starved for human contact, but I guess I was. Who'da thunk it? I was feeling guilty for stranding them at month end (and before a long weekend), so I think I'll send them some sort of treat tomorrow. Perhaps some DQ...

So it's day 4 of the skin infection(impetigo) that just won't quit and I think it's trying to spread to my eyes. They're getting all red, watery and crusty. Sigh. So I'm heading to the doctor again today. This is really starting to tick me off...

So yesterday, Hubby and I went to an anniversary party for my aunt and uncle. It's their 40th so they had a big party for the family. When we got there, in a space of about 5 minutes, I'm told by like 3 of my relatives what a pretty girl I am. Psssshhhhhttttt!! If they could see me today, they'd change their tune! As we're sitting at the party, my face was kinda itchy but I dismissed it because I'd been wearing makeup for 12 hours and my face isn't used to that, so whatever, right? WRONG!! When we got home and I washed my face, Hubby heard a bloodcurdling shriek come from the bathroom. I had this huge disgusting rash-like dealie on my face. He saw it and cringed. Nice. Just the reassurance that I didn't look like a hideous freak that I needed. I went to the medi clinic today and it turns out I have a staph-like infection on my face. Like when I had pink-eye last October except on my chin and under my nose. Great. Like this month wasn't crappy enough already...this is the topper of all toppers. I was going to take a picture of it and post it here, but then I thought, who wants see that? You really don't want to see the oozing pustules on my "pretty" face. It's quite disgusting. I feel like the elephant man or something. I have to throw out my makeup because it's now contaminated and it'll probably be a good week or so before I can wear any at all (shudder). If my face is still oozing on Tuesday, I was advised not to go to work. No one wants to see me without makeup anyway (nasty!). I'm doomed.

What did I do to deserve this?

Damn you sweaty ball money!!!
