They should give it a nice name like fluffy rabbit spots...

I was talking to a friend the other day who said that she feels the best now at 37 than she did ten years ago. Well, I've been 28 for 9 days and I've had a cold for 11. Well, yesterday I developed a rash, this morning I went to the doctor and I have shingles.

It was way cooler being sick as a kid, I got to stay home from school, our next door neighbour, Nerilee babysat and she baked chocolate chip cookies and let me watch Dirty Dancing ("No one puts Baby in a corner."). The doctor recommended I take a couple of days off work, I just got a sweet as new assignment, if I take time off they will give it to someone else.

I have to take these giant pills five times a day for a week, I'm gonna be rattling by the end of the week.

And why can't they give it a nice name? At least chicken pox makes you think of chickens, shingles just sounds like scabby grossness. Dumb!
