The Anecdotes

#1. I had a dream last night about M, a sweet kiddo in my class who can be incorrigible and who talks about his dad often. Whenever I take a photo of M he wants to know if he can send a copy to his dad. I've given him a few photos here and there. I think his dad's incarcerated, but I can't be certain. In my dream, I was in a jail with M, and we were showing his dad a 3 page story M wrote about the Transformers and Optimus Prime especially. His dad was proud and M seemed to be proud. I felt proud that I could hook these 2 up this way.
#2. This morning, bumps appeared on my right shin (and fewer bumps on my left shin) and this brought back memories of the horrible polymorphous light eruption I had a few years back after a trip to Florida. After gathering evidence on the internets, Husbandman agrees with me that my diagnosis is probably correct. I'm feeling a little scared because a few years ago I was covered with itchy skin that would not go away for weeks, but at this moment in time, the itching isn't too bad and I have applied cortisone, the typical treatment. Here's a further complication. Tomorrow I have a massage appt., and I suppose I'll ask massage giver to avoid my shins, for obvious reasons. I wonder what she will think about that. It will be doubly embarrassing because I'm not shaving my legs, for obvious reasons. I've considered canceling the massage, but in my heart of hearts, I don't want to.
