I'm a smooth one...

First off, to my friend from Canada that found my blog through a Google search for "creams for penicillin mono rash," I totally feel your pain! (Literally, too... I know just what you're going through.) I am so sorry... being in bed for days on end with an itchy rash is enough to drive one insane. Try the Bath and Body Works lotion, though... it really helps. My theory is that part of the problem was that my skin was dry which made the itching worse. Through the worst of it I was putting lotion on my arms like every half hour. Ice packs also work fairly well. And if worse comes to worse, you can always resort to taking a couple of benadryl which will put you to sleep for a while. I did.


Anyway... yesterday I mentioned a dream about Hugh Laurie. This is probably due to the fact that my major pastime while I have been lying in bed all day feeling miserable has been watching episodes of House, MD. I started on Season 1, episode 1, and now I'm up to season 3, episode 5, or something like that. I had better recover soon or I will run out of Houses to watch. Anywho, Mr. Laurie is pretty hot for a 49 year old, and really, what bed-ridden, miserable, and pathetic girl wouldn't want to dream about him? Add to that the fact that in my dream he was much younger-looking, and both of us were much more single. So, just to prove that the mono hasn't done anything to my brain, being the smooth person that I am, the ONE thing I remember saying to him is "You can't kiss me because I have mono!" Nice one, JM... So there you see, it wasn't much of a dream.
