Ode to a cold sore

It is looking a little funky around here … I’m experimenting and the only way I will finish is if I just leave it all looking kind of crappy. Then when I look at it I will feel the urge to make it look nicer!

My hand is healing. The skin has fused and I want to rip out the stitches now! Six more days until I can get them out … however I think I will just remove them myself. It doesn’t look hard, and I hate hospitals … I can definitely take them out. I want them out because now I feel obliged to wear a bandaid at work and it gets all soggy and noodly after like 20 minutes and I’m going to have to declare bankruptcy from all these bandaids I’ve been buying.

I have a cold sore, its big .. I hate it. I should have asked the doctor to remove my lip while she had the surgical tools out last week. Oh gross, now I have something else unpleasant happening to my body … it just keeps getting better and better.

My department at work is planning a one day retreat to partake in next month. I want it to be fun, but people have some really weird ideas. A 1/2 day Yoga session followed by horse riding, tube sledding, or a self-defense class. Hello, I would rather sit on my butt and be at work. This stuff sounds painful! Just kidding – it actually seems kind of exciting, as long as it can be indoors. I’m not really outdoor winter sports girl. Especially because I’m guaranteed to either be deathly ill or have a nasty cold sore that day … and both prohibit playing outdoors in the snow.

Ouch. I suck. I have nothing to say.

    can you ride horses in the wintertime anywhere around here? and why would you want to?

    I would want to ride a horse. I like horsies. Unfortunately the last time I was around one I discoverd I am allergic. Possibly just to all the stuff that comes along with them or the flies or the shit. Who knows. Put a damper on my childhood dream to be a vet. I figured it would affect my practice if I could only work with dogs.

    Ummm …. I rode a horse once. I was a girl scout for about a month and I got to sit on a horse while someone guided it around a track. I didn’t think it was that entertaining. However, it might be different if I saddled up and say “go horsie!” Also very likely that I would fall off and kill myself if I did that.
