Hi to all the new people swinging through my little corner of the internet recently. Wish I could say that you will be amused and entertained, but as I recently said “I’m not a writer, I’m a complainer.” Feel free to stick around, comment and call me an asshole, whatever. I’m easy.

So Thursday I went and had a lovely time meeting some other bloggers. The kid was good, the drive was fine, what little bit of my food that P didn’t eat before I did was good. I resisted the lure of the 3? malls and a flea market(that I have no idea if it was even going on, but the urge to take the exit and find out was strong) I had to drive past to get there.Everyone was really nice to me and I didn’t feel like a total fucking freak. That is always a bonus. :-)

If I had one complaint it would be this–I forgot to put sunblock on my arms before we left so I dug around in my purse (I need to write a post about purses) and found the non-sticky kids sunblock I bought for P and slathered it all over my arms. That wasn’t the wisest thing I could have done.

I got a nasty itchy rash all. over. my. arms. and this is where the title of this post comes from. I thought the best thing to do would be to take some benadryl, but since I’m such a lightweight I waited until almost bedtime to take a dose. I woke up the next morning wearing a tshirt and nothing else. I still don’t know at what point I removed and then got out of bed to HIDE my underwear. Friday night I took another dose. Yesterday morning I woke up without a shirt, but I must not have needed to hide it because it was in the floor by my bed. I tried one more dose last night because what the hell, I need a hobby. I woke up with the two hairbands I had in my hair lying neatly by my pillow. I changed my sheets yesterday and my underwear are definitely not hidden in my bed.

The even stranger part is that I don’t remember having a single dream any of the nights that I could somehow blame my nocturnal need to get naked on.  I guess I need to switch to non-drowsy antihistamine next time I need one. One of only two medications I ever take and the world will be a less happy place for a lot of people who are forced to interact with me if I’m forced to give up my PMS pills.

    Thanks Calli.

    The kid in the bed happens for me too, but not as often as he would like. I skipped the benadryl last night and woke up with everything still present and accounted for.
