healthy immune system

today is my first day off in nine long days. i went to the gym, and it felt great. one healthy point for me today already.

i have a huge, nasty spider bite on my right forearm. it looks better today than it did yesterday. my arm was so swollen, hot and distorted looking. it looked bowed out b/c it was so swollen. i kept it dowsed with hydrocortisone cream and wore long sleeves so i wouldn't scratch it as much. when i got home from work and put an ice pack on it before i went to bed. i just keep thinking that at least my immune system is working...another healthy point for me!

i was planning to see the sex and the city movie today by myself, but i think i will go with my sister and my aunt on sunday. plans are not definite yet, but i am sure we can work something out. so, that leaves me with an entire day to do whatever floats my boat. basically, i think i need to clean and pack. i guess i better do the right thing, and make the most out of my free time to get crap done.

time check: 2:32pm. just got back from lunch with mike and gp. still haven't done any packing, but i was proactive and productive about my nz pharmacy stuff. so, i got my request mailed off the california board of pharmacy to get a letter of good standing sent to the pharmacy council of new zealand, so that i can apply to take the board exam in december. see, i was doing something. at least i have been getting answers from people right away, and there has been no lag time since i have finally decided to just go for it and take the test in december. the worst thing that can happen is that i fail, waste a bunch of money and have to take it over again in march. i just want to jump start the process a few months. but i am not looking forward to studying again. good lord! what a terrible prospect!

time check: 6:05pm. woke up from a nap about half and hour ago. tried to pack up my nightstand. went through my jewelry. have a ton of stuff from when i was a kid that i will never wear again. i am thinking of giving it all to my niece, sammy. maybe she can play with it.

time for dinner. more later.
