Oh, and I forgot to mention...

... I do have the shingles, after all. I'm officially on sick leave as from yesterday, and on the so-called good drugs. The rash emerged on Sunday morning (joy - NOT!), but it seems to be a somewhat milder case, fortunately. *touches wood* I still hurt all over, and it itches a bit, too, but I didn't have to take any painkillers so far. It is bearable.

I don't miss work, but I'm very sorry that I'm going to miss the Rabbit Cup tomorrow. I was sooo looking forward to bake all those carrot/zucchini muffins with the 7th and 8th term kids. :(

Oh I am so sorry! I was hoping it wasn't... if you get any coming up near your eyes, check back with the doctor (that's what I was firmly told since mine were mostly on my head: though it's apparently uncommon, they need to be watched a little more carefully there). I did have to have painkillers, it was a nerve pain and horribly ripply....

One thing, once they got me on the good drugs it cleared up very fast.

Well, apparently you got better drugs than I - the clearing up part doesn't prove very fast in my case. *sigh*
