Must. Not. Scratch.

i have 5 min while i wait for a file to copy so i thought i'd blog.

i have these three large bug bites along my right arm/shoulder, and they're driving me crazy with their itchiness. i think i got them from being out on a ranch on sat. night. they blew up so big by sunday that it looked like i had a second elbow on my one arm. i'm trying hard not to scratch. its like having chicken pox all over. i must've gotten an allergic reaction to them, because they puffed up and still feel kinda hot. i've put some calamine on it but it still itches like crazy. instead of scratching, i'm slapping them real hard. this is what i did as a kid with chicken pox that couldn't be scratched. you slap them and it doesn't feel as good as a scratch but at least it relieves the itch some what and doesn't puncture the skin. i walked into coworker D's office and he said i smelled good. like vanilla. i told him that it must be my itch cream, which contains oatmeal supposedly. he gave me a funny look. for the bug bites, i said. yup. sexy.
