Dear skin:

Please stop itching like crazy for no apparent reason. You cannot possibly be developing an allergic reaction to my sunscreen, a brand which I have used for years without incident. Yes, I know they say high SPF, which is the only kind I use, can cause skin irritation, but I've used high-SPF sunscreens ever since they were in widespread use and I've never had ill effects from them before, and I'm damn sure not going to stop now. (For those of you just joining the long-running, if not terribly popular, Wang Xi-feng Show, I'm very fair-skinned and there's a history of skin cancer in my family, so I'm very careful about the sunscreen. 55 is the absolute lowest SPF I feel safe with, and I prefer the higher ranges; Neutrogena makes SPF 110 now.)

Moreover, I see no evidence of bites or irritation--just itchiness. I guess it could be body hair in that awkward, prickly growing-back-in stage, but it doesn't usually itch like this. (I also guess it could be contact dermatitis from the hotel sheets in Ohio, but that's really something that happens to the lolmom, not me.)

Whatever your problem is, get over it or I will take matters into my own hands. This, I assure you, you will not like.

No love whatsoever,
l33

HELLO INTERNETS. I would ask if you've missed me horribly, but you probably didn't notice I was gone. (I wouldn't notice my absence either, frankly.)

I spent most of last week running around like a mad thing and preparing for my trip to Ohio to see [livejournal.com profile] imperfectkatoru. The trip itself was, as ever, a pleasant distraction with all the requisites (pizza, good sex, long conversations, slow stretches of I-75); I also got to see the house (and [livejournal.com profile] driley1, albeit briefly).

So now I'm back. Lolmom made ham and greens and cornbread and we're pretending to be from the South; this was an interesting culinary experiment, since we had no idea what to do with mustard greens and the like, but not destined to become one of our favorites. I'm not a fan of cooked vegetables, though I will eat some of them, and the texture is a real turn-off.

The plants proceed apace; I am impatiently waiting for the tomatoes to turn red so I can eat them. There are blossoms on the peppers, eggplant, and squash, and the dill is starting to grow blossoms.

Work has been work. You know, I'm actually kind of over work. Nobody's getting any hours and so I agreed to swap with a co-worker (I'm taking his long shift and he's taking my shorter evening shift, which he's welcome to even though the shift I'm taking for him is a crap shift). I could use a few more hours until I pick up something else.

There, now you're all caught up, isn't that 4W5UM?
