Meeting the Devil

I met the devil last night. He was a surprisingly ordinary-loking man with dark, wavy hair. He wore a suit and was smiling and talking to other men around him.

*

As he walked by, I reached out and grasped his hand. I wanted to see if I could feel something different about him...perhaps something that was "off' or some essence of evil. But no, there was nothing.

*

It was clear he enjoyed his job of tempting people.

*

What stood out the most was how happy he was. I wasn't expecting that.

*

Really? Given the state of the world, isn't it obvious that he would be happy?

*

For all of you who thought I was going

to be the devil in this story…pbxtkxt!

I blow you a big raspberry!!

Duck and Cover

Hey mom, we got something for you!

*

I got you a duck, and Geordie got you a helmet.

*

But why is the duck wearing the helmet?

*

How else is it supposed to protect your head?

*

Against my will, I got to learn something recently.

A couple of weeks ago I failed to duck low enough when walking under some stairs and whacked my head. I bump myself often enough that I quickly forgot about the incident. A few days afterward, I started getting a big lump on my head. Then I developed chills and fever with joint pain, skin pain, muscle pain and what I presume to be tendon pain because there aren’t a lot of muscles in the hands. Just to make things more fun, I got terribly itchy as if I had dipped my head in poison ivy.

The fever came and went for a few days before I felt like it was behind me. With the fever seemingly gone, my head now feels like someone beat on it with a hammer leaving little circles of pain all over it. While we all know our hair moves in some throwback to when it was more efficient at capturing heat and signaling our emotions, we are rarely aware of it. I have been blown away by how much my hair moves in a day. It is an agony every time it does, yet it constantly does so. The swelling, pain and itchy rash have moved down from my scalp to cover my forehead and the left side of my face to my cheekbones.

Initially I thought I had hit my head hard enough to split the scalp and develop an infection, but I don’t believe that is what happened. It looks like more like I am having an autoimmune reaction to an injury.* I think the itchiness and the swelling are Koebner phenomenon where 11% – 75% (Way to narrow down the numbers, scientists!) of lucky psoriasis patients can develop symptoms that resemble psoriasis whenever their skin is injured (mosquito bites, tattoos, acne, etc). With the way I hurt myself, I can’t see this as being good news. Plus, symptoms can take anywhere from as little as 3 days to as much as 20 years to develop. Sure, that will be easy to keep track of. No problem.

In the meantime, the only way I can get through my days is with an ice bag on my head. I haven’t been able to sleep more than 3 hrs a night since this happened because the itching is so bad and it’s too painful to have my head touch a pillow.

I think what hurts the most is that my hair was finally starting to grow back. All the swelling from this trauma is likely to make it fall out again.

I really need to order a chemo hat.

*Funny since my doctor told me explicitly that I do not have an autoimmune disease.

You should have my fur instead. It is glorious!

Vampires

If vampires ean an exclusively liquid diet, would they ever poop? I don't know. I guess you'll have to ask one.

*

Yet another profound question I have, and you are absolutely no help.

Toby has altogether too much time on his hands. Um, paws.

Why, what do you want me to think about?

The Spider and the Fly

(Not my image.)

*

“Oh my”, said the fly

”Dear spider, come see

My gossamer tablecloth

Laid out for tea.”

*

“In the shade of the tree

We’ll have crumpets and scones

And while away time

Till the afternoon’s gone.”

*

“And while we are chatting

Come look at my phone!

See the wonderful website

That I have done.”

*

“It’s all about you

And your wonderful home.

The lattice-work structures

with your silk you have sewn.”

*

Spider looked at the screen

And was quickly entranced.

She could not look away, 

Not even a glance.

*

And with that

Tricky Fly was a fly celeb

’Cause nasty ol’ spider

Was caught in ‘the web’.

**********************

I’d eat ’em both if you’d give me the chance.

Rhymes With Orange

Did you know there is no word that rhymes with "orange"? What about "Blancmange"?

*

Oh that reminds me, when is Wimbledon?

Don’t worry, it’s not till July, but you should get your tickets early.

I wanna be a ball retriever!
