i ran into someone whose sister had shingles. she saw my hand/arm and said" oh, you have shingles too" i didn't know that's what they looked like, but they are a little weird. it's been a few months and they're finally starting to fade a bit, but more bumps are starting at the other end (near shoulder) i'm hoping those are normal. oh well.

what i actually think is pretty cool is the way it looked during the winter: huge tiger stripy bands of red/purple just when I was outside and it was really cold.

I try to look at each new thing as 'gee, that's interesting' i try not to think about what it means, but that's me. fortunately, it's been really hot for a while (90s I'm in sw fl) so it's looking back to "normal"

i hope you feel better
