    Test results still not back. đŸ€ŹđŸ€ŹđŸ€ŹRash is spreading all over arms and legs, my butt, neck, and has just shown an interest in my left boob. I feel utterly miserable about it. My MIL (who’s had her share of skin issues) says, “Oh I always get my results back 24, 48 hours at the most. But then I’ve had my tests done by the specialists.” Yeah alright miss smarty pants private health cover part pension, you’re not helping.

    • bacon@aussie.zone ⁚4⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

      They are growing the bacteria and I guess they want to be thorough so that will take days. Way longer than blood tests. Fingers crossed you find something with an easy fix!

      source
      • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁚4⁩ ⁚weeks⁩ ago

        Thankyou, that’s a good explanation. The thought that they have to deliberately grow this thing makes my skin crawl even more! And thankyou again, I’ll give them a call.

      In the interim is there anything that might sooth the symptoms?

      Do antihistamines help any with this?

      I wouldn’t listen to your MIL, don’t need her 2 cents about her experience and how lightning fast things are. Doesn’t help you in the slightest.

      Do you have any anti-itch cream available? I’ve found that plain vaseline can help with mystery rashes, helps stop the itches. Not a cure, not even close, but may help with symptoms until you get your results. Sending some healing vibes through the aether.

      I’m sorry, that sucks. I had pityriasis rosea or some such, I’m hoping it’s just a reaction to a virus and nothing more serious đŸ€ž

      I also potentially have mast cell flares = rashes

      One thing I found is to just very lightly and carefully ‘slap’ the itchy spots or like tap it with an open hand or fingertips - or even better do it right next to it on healthy skin. It distracts from the sensation without causing as much irritation as scratching.

      However if the skin is in any way compromised ie. fragile, damaged, weeping, or infectious - don’t do this. Don’t touch it

    So. I grabbed a ps5 the other day. I got it running to install everything etc.

        I grabbed final fantasy rebirth, cult of the lamb and Alan wake 2.

        I played the first final fantasy 7 remake on ps4 so keen to see what this new one is like.

        Cult of the lamb is fucking awesome, played it a bit on pc.

        And alan wake 2 looked awesome so keen to see what its like.

        What do you play?

 Say what you will, but they are a seminal band for me. Many core memories burned into my soul.

    This week I have partaken in some obsessive Spring cleaning. This included doorframes and fly screens.

    Still plugging away towards SDC (aka Swedish Death Cleaning). Very mixed feelings about it. Also Llab has become even more like a mix between mecurial Melbourne weather and a Cure album (Wild Mood Swings should about sum it up). It’s just almost like an OOB experience.

    Like being super cognisant of highs and lows. The promise of two good days of weather boosted me so much that I actually thought I was going a bit batty and the snap change
 oof

    I got paid all my leave. I thought I wouldn’t get it because I was terminated, but it’s all there. Trying to keep my leave was one of the main reasons I was trying to make my old job work, and I thought it would be a loss I’d just have to eat moving into the new role.

    But I got it. I’m going to hold onto it because I probably won’t get paid over Christmas, so I can hold onto the leave pay I’d have to use then anyway.

    Maybe you always get your leave, because you’ve technically already earned it. I thought it didn’t get paid out if you got terminated

Twiddles thumbs Made and drank a couple of coffees. Looked at a website of clothing that I absolutely fell in love with, but it turns out they’re unreliable and the clothing is not up to scratch. Devo’d as it was totally my style 😭 (It was Airpears Japanese ocean art style clothing, not so much the dresses but the shirts, pants and men’s hooded fleece jackets that I loved).

    A while back I mentioned the writing competition I am running with the help of Libraries Tasmania. There are 2 days left and we have 40 entries so far. It’s gone so much better than I thought it would. I’m really happy with the entries, especially since the second biggest library/area got flooded so might have missed out on a few entries from kids who didn’t know about it.

    Next year, if they want to do it again, I’m going to add another field for comics/graphic novels.

    No pizza today because I had that on Tues and leftovers the last two nights. Tonight instead I have fish and chips for the air fryer. And I’ll sautee some spinach for helth.

    In the midst of everything I’ve forgotten entirely to figure out upgrading the firmware on my phone so it can do 4G calls. Just got a notice today saying they’ll block me from calls AND data after 28/10, what the fuck, I was just going to keep going on data for a while before I worked it out. And I think they’re doing it based on phone model regardless of whether you’ve actually enabled 4G calls the hard way (this phone is technically capable of it, just needs the right firmware). Not something easily explained to call centre support


    Zero spoons for it tonight but I guess I’ll have to get cracking on that tomorrow sigh I do have my work phone as a backup at least

    I dared to look at jordan peterson politics vid. 😼

    regardless of what our principles are there are some real problems with him and his politics followers

    Peterson is a genius, he really is. He’s far smarter than 99.5% of people out there. Problem is he’s arrogant and bitter and doesn’t seem to question his world view and what he does much. That’s an easy habit to get into. He needs better friends to knock some sense into him.

    His politics followers are not stupid, just average, but they don’t have the skills or knowledge to see through all the bullshit, scams and lies out there.

    Tomorrow I’m going to slather on the calamine lotion and take the family to the latest Lucha Fantastica wrestling event. It’s the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. Can’t wait to go! I buy the tickets pre release so they cost very little, and we go out for lunch before the event. It’s our little family outing every 2-3 months and I look forward to it for weeks (usually it’s me and the kids going out, or Mr P and the kids, like a divorce lol).
