Daily Notes- December 19th

 I found two more pieced potholders so will need to quilt them and then fold over the edges of backing to bind the edges.  Easier than making strips of binding.   The fabric is something I found at Goodwill- when I used to go into Goodwill.  Like in 2019.

Well, I have had a very very interesting 24 hours.   Yesterday I noticed a rash on my stomach.  Red, puffy, blotchy.  It would itch if one scratched it- I did not.  It looked like dermatitis.  I applied Benadryl spray. By bedtime my complete waist down body was red, angry, splotches.  Hot shower and Calamine lotion.  Middle of the night I got up to pee and noticed the rash has spread and was now everywhere.  Very very hot shower. I learned this trick from Brown Tail Moth rashes.  Very very hot water.  

This morning the rash was intensely red, puffy and ALL OVER.  Another hot shower and Calamine. I just  noticed (pee break) the rash is now gone again.  This is all very very strange.

But, yesterday I wore a pair a pants I haven't worn in a long time.  There might have been some thing on the inside of the pants that irritated my skin.  In any event- I am dehydrated, sleepy and happy to just wear my pajamas and my robe the rest of the day.  Maybe even take a nap. And that makes me Smile.

Smile the word I pulled out of the jar this morning.  Smile about a rash that- for the moment--has decided to just disappear.  All the Benadryl and Stress has made me very tired.  So, it's a toss up of the couch or the sewing machine.  I'm thinking the couch is going to win.
