the list of items i've been meaning to post about has piled up so high, i'm not even sure what's at the bottom anymore. i mean, i never even posted about hawaii, and that was in september! i think the best way to conquer it (along with the general wall i keep hitting every time i log on to LJ) is to once again tackle Post Every Day This Week. i need that extra motivation to push past the exhaustion and malaise at the end of every work day when i zombify in front of the telly.

i have nothing exciting prepared for today, but i can tell you that last thursday night a spider (i presume) bit me on my cheek. and while i haven't gone full-on elephant man, i am still sporting a swollen bloom beneath my left eye that is both tender and itchy (and not one spidey-sense to speak of yet! what a rip). what does one do for spider bites? is there anything other than wait it out? bahhhh. :*(

aside from tolerating my deformed face, i spent saturday at the park for my nephew's birthday, saw the film melancholia (which i didn't necessarily love, but i'm still thinking about it, so), and then sunday was spent gardening at the shop (out with the dead, in with the pansies) before plunking down on the couch for six hours. and now it's back to work for me, because we are an evil company that doesn't take today off.

hey, flisters, hey.

hee. i sometimes think about how much i suck for never posted pics of my trip to iceland and spain a year and a half ago! the only thing to do is resolve to post more current things!

sorry about your face! have you tried putting a steroid cream on or some after bite?

hey, krit!

p.s. i totally hated melancholia!

right? it still haunts me that i never really posted about comic-con for the last THREE YEARS. ah well, maybe this year will be different! :D

i haven't put anything on my face; i didn't know what to do! mostly i am just trying my best not to touch it for fear of making it worse. and i'm hesitant to google for thoughts, because the internet will likely tell me about deadly venom and i just don't have time for a panic attack today. but perhaps i could look into a helpful cream!

i think my hopes were too high for melancholia. i thought it was going to be different. i think i liked the idea of it? of the last 20 minutes? but i kind of felt like laughing at the absurdity of what i just sat through once the credits came up. idk. performances were pretty great, though.

Ice pack on the eye. Watch for red streaks leading away from it, or a bullseye pattern. Go to ER if you see either of those...honestly 3 days is already a long time to have swelling like that. Can you go to Rapid Care today? :\

oh, it's nothing that dire just yet. i'll keep an eye on it though (thanks for the tips!), and i'll try the ice thing tonight.

Ack, Kritface, nooo! O___O The only advice I have is to watch for flu-like symptoms - that's what Matt had when he was bitten by a black widow.
