Ouch! My face hurts and Stupid FF3 is still driving me crazy…

November 10, 2008 · Posted in Back Home, Family Life, Health Stuff 

I write you tonight from Safari, because Firefox 3 has still not addressed the problem of the spell check on the fly problem with Wordpress. Until yesterday, I was blissfully using FF2 on my desktop machine, but I started getting some random wonkiness from one of my FF Add-Ons and when I went to see if there was a new version, I was instructed that I sucked for using FF2 and that if I wanted to use my really awesome add-on, I had to get FF3. Lame-O me forgot about the Wordpress issue and blindly downloaded FF3 - then came on over to post about my stupid face rash and realized I was not being spellchecked - and those of you who know me (meaning, those of you who talk to me on IM) know exactly how frightening that can be.

So, here we are in Safari - because the on-the-fly spellchecking in Safari actually works. Thank you Safari.

Ok, so a few things first, I have a few new favorite songs to share with you, so open your iTunes now and start downloading them.

  • Relentless by Jason Aldean - Side note, this song is not only fantastic, he’s hawt. Married, but still hawt.
  • Let It Go by Tim McGraw - This song is pretty deep and hits me right there, with regards to the topic we don’t discuss here.
  • Love Story by Taylor Swift - She’s a really talented artist and wow her messages are often pretty deep.

Those are my weekend iTunes purchases - I am in the process of compiling a list of great songs I can listen to while driving to California in a few weeks. Oh, I also got the Blue Oyster Cult song that prompts people far and wide to demand “More Cowbell”.

Alright - now on to the ‘Ouch - My face hurts’ portion of tonight’s program. It seems that I might have gotten ahold of something on Saturday morning that caused a catastrophic allergic reaction - and by that, I mean my face puffed up like a puffer fish and my lips started to split open. Now, as I sit here, it feels like my face is going through that 24-hours-after-a-sunburn phase of healing. It feels dry, gross and it freakin hurts!

I ended up taking Benadryl Saturday night in order to try to curb the pain/swelling - I mean, after all, my anniversary was already shot all the heck. Right?

Anyway, I am doing a bit better today I think. My skin feels real rough around my chin and dry - wow, I am scared to open my mouth for fear it’ll crack something and I’ll have a Joker-like opening in place of my normal Brandy-sized mouth.

By the way, so far so good on the medical front - I have decided to change the tag name of the category that contains most of my medical stuff..:)

(I am listening to Relentless right now…Wow, this song moves me…I’m not sure why, but it does (It might be because he’s hawt tho - I will admit that))

I’ll check in later in the week - surely something will happen between now and then that will be blogworthy…I hope…

(I talked to my dad tonight too - which always makes me a little giddy - I miss my dad a lot)
