...of sheer and utter embarrassment. I listened to my wise and elderly (hey, her words - not mine) Aunt Mama Hen, as she was able to scold me before Nurse Aunt got the chance, and went to the doctor. And confirmed - I do have shingles.
And does anyone know what they prescribe for shingles???? Valtrex!!! Do you know what that is!!??!! It is the medicine from that stupid commercial where all the tramps are walking around hugging on each other acting like it's totally normal that they have a grossy sexually transmitted disease. You know, "Yes, I have herpes, but my partner doesn't..." Well how 'bout, um, I don't know, don't have sex with them and ya won't get it. But I know, I know, it's completely okay to have sex with everyone you meet. That's why you get diseases from it, right? If it were not meant to be that way you wouldn't get diseases and wouldn't have emotional problems, unplanned pregnancy...oh wait...hmmmmm
Okay, so anyway, now that I have unveiled my opinion of the utter stupidity of those (and most) commercials...I had to take this prescription and get it filled!! I begged my doctor for free samples, but he swore he didn't have any. He had a funny look on his face so I don't know if I believe him. I think he was getting some sort of sick and twisted doctor enjoyment out of knowing what I had to do.
Did I mention that I have been going to the same pharmacy since I got my very first prescriptioon as a child? Yeah, so they all know me there? Yeah, it was nice. I went totally Superman and wore my glasses, not my contacts and guess what? It didn't work. Darn that Clark Kent. They still recognized me.

Ugh shingles??? Sorry to hear that!! Sounds like your having a blast on your day off!!
Oh I read on down and saw the post about the deer that you were telling me about yesterday. That is so funny looking at a deer with a collar. Very interesting....
I couldn't help but giggle when I read this. Sorry about the apparent discomfort but at least you still have your sense of humor!
So sorry! I have heard that shingles are pretty painful. I'll bring you some chicken soup, but I'll leave it at the end of the driveway. LOVE YOU! :)
Shoulda bought some condoms, hemorrhoid cream, super-mega tampons and feminine deodorant spray. If you're gonna give 'em something to talk about, do it right.
You gonna post again soon, or are you really dead?
