An Update...or whatever.

I hate brushing my teeth which makes me feel like a kid but when I take out the garbage I feel really grown up.

I am getting over a vicious case of shingles. This might have been the worst agony I've ever gone through. I had an itchy rash and agonizing pain right around my torso on the right side for several days, only relieved by the euphoria of Vicodin.

Shingles were an amazing excuse not to have to leave my house or wear a bra (luck was on my side that this virus hit while I'm 25).

I live in a new apartment and I love it. So while being homebound might be a pain in the ass for some people, I welcomed the excuse to hang around my new place, make it feel like home, and not wash my hair for 3 days.

But I wouldn't ask for shingles again for all the world.
