I have spent the last three days suffering, and I think now I am starting to feel somewhat better. I have been ache-ier and itchier than metaphores allow. It seems I am developing an allergy to the SUN of all things, but I am being led to believe that this is something that will pass in time, and if not, it is very easily treated. Still, I spent the last several days covered in hives, exhausted and amazed that I had no fever. I thought I was getting the chicken pox or the measels - I've had neither of those.

Boy was I relieved when I finally dragged myself out to see the pharmacist. Now of course I probably should have gone to the doctor. However, my doctor, Dr. Popular didn't have an apointment free until early September and I didn't want to go to emergency, I went to see Steve at the Walgreen's Pharmacy. Steve told me to take some drugs and hydrocortozone and keep that apointment with the doctor.

I'm compiling answers to the "how to be happy" that four of you were kind enough to write about. It is a tough subject!

And lastly, this is exactly why we do NOT want to relect Drinky McDumbass. "No child left behind" my ass.
