As in…. I’m in a bad way over here. F this agonizing skin pain. The dots are ever so slightly darker but not vile weeping pustules. The skin- still feels as if I’ve got a heatless sunburn. Tonight I took a not hot (realized that the heat was not helping with the pain) shower and slipped into my comfort fleece- which felt as if someone had knitted tiny little bits of broken glass and barbed wire into it. Eventually I ended up crying because this skin pain, reluctant to self diagnose anything here, despite having all the symptoms except a rash, took away the pleasure of my comfort fleece! A girl can only take so much, you know??
On the flip side, the muscles spasms are down to about 30% of what they were a couple of days ago, so that’s a relief. The last two nights I did manage to get some sleep in bed. I’m thinking now that I had two unrelated things happening on the same area of my back. Sounds like me, doesn’t it?
I brought my camera to the woods today. Wouldn’t you know that the light was perfect when I left the house, dark when I got to the woods, and then the sun came out again just as I was leaving two hours later. Seriously!! I want my dream camera that can shoot at any speed without noise. But still, the light could be a wee bit more cooperative.
It is raining tonight, which makes me happy since there is still time for more mushrooms! Hopefully I’ll feel up to going to the good mushroom place in a few days to see what the rain inspired. The good mushroom place is more rugged than the woods I usually go to. It’s steeper, but also, not many people go there so the paths are not as worn and clear. I like it there.
My mushroom buddy’s kid was exposed, and I don’t know how to tell my mushroom buddy that I am not feeling safe around her until we see how this pans out. You know? People just don’t get that I am willing to do what it takes to never know this virus. Or at least not know it until some miracle medication shows up on the scene. I am baffled by those who have basically resumed all social activity. Uh. No thanks.
