oops. forgot to mention: am back in america.

back to work.
back to blah.

interesting development:

i seem to have this strange skin-rashy-thingy on the left side of the nape of my neck.

the psychosomatic hypochondriac estimates that this is, indeed, the onset of shingles.

the rationalist i [irrationally] tend to be is quite confounded as to what it actually is. so much in fact, i have scheduled an appointment at the urgent care for tomorrow. [[and burnt several mini tart crusts in the process of doing such.]]

the trouble is...
this strange skin-thingy came to my attention on a day when:

1. i was working for the first time since ending holiday and in my 11 day absence, the kitchen had switched to beet sugar [instead of the pure cane]. beets... well, i'm allergic. anaphylactic, actually. [[craaaaaazy.]]

2. shaved the back of my neck. forcibly. quickly. ...with a manual AND electric razor.

3. had been carrying around my m'urse/bag for several hours whilst it was extremely heavier than ever typical.

4. wore tanktop [as had newly shorn neck] and exposed my igloo-dyed skin to the late afternoon sun.

5. fell asleep [nap-like] in a shirt that was purchased from a newsagent/shitty-trinket-merchant located a stone's-throw from buckingham palace. this shirt had not been washed since purchase/unwrapping.

so clearly... since i've no idea which of, if any, these things has caused creepy-looking, 2p-coin-sized, elevated, red, clump of teeniest-tiniest blisters upon my shoulder.

thus: shingles.

which makes my left side hurt in the mere mention of the word.

[[i may be a hypochondriac, but i'm also the son of a nurse and i'm terribly informed into the matters of medicine.]]

pics of britain soon to come.
perhaps by friday.
can't be arsed at the moment... cos it's 76 degrees F/24.5 degrees C... and i'm drinking wheaty, summertime beers.
