So about ten days ago, I notice this small rash on my left side. It puzzles me, because it doesn't really itch or hurt or anything, but it's clearly a rash.

Skipping some intermediate steps that reveal my mom to be psychotic, I went to the doctor on Thursday, and he informs me it's really an infection. It's not much of a problem, as infections of this kind can be, and it's not contagious, but I need to clear it up. So I'm now on a series of three brand-new prescriptions that simultaneously make me tired but keep me from sleeping. It's interesting, in the "wow, I just sliced an artery" definition of "interesting."

My doctor told me one of the drugs might increase my appetite. I realized he was right when I realized I was considering spreading peanut butter on leftover Krispy Kreme donuts.

(Hey, it's reduced-fat peanut butter. Gimme a break.)

I also have had, at least once, the strong desire to sleep about 20 hours per day in unpredictable segments. And I can't take my normal drugs (all two of them) during the prescription period due to unsavory interactions. So I'm basically kind of spinning around, but it's not interfering with writing as much as I would have thought. All the other beginning-of-quarter activities have, but this hasn't.

So I guess it's not so bad.

Can I put marshmallow creme on Krispy Kremes?
