Not Much Doing

I don't really have too much to put up but felt like I needed to bump that last bummer down a notch. I'm feeling better, but not all the time. Some people call that "normal."

I've gotten a part-time temp gig at a Sports Magazine. The office I currently occupy has a huge picture of Will Ferrell as Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights in it. It's me and two other gentlemen. I'm trying not to panic about the part-time aspect. Funny, my first temp gig in New York was also at a magazine, in the same department - Advertising Sales.

I'm kind of bummed that the girl who was leaving was...well, leaving. She was really cool and I got the feeling we could be BFFs.

I now have a serious addiction to Grey's Anatomy. I'm 3 episodes in to Season 2, which Meghan owns. Last night we took a walk around the reservoir and I really enjoyed it. It's in a cute neighborhood and the walk is really a good workout. BUT.

I got the rash.

My whole life I've always gotten this weird hive-type thing on my thighs whenever I would exercise outside or on treadmills, so at this point in my life, I pretty much keep my cardio workouts restricted to the bike and any type of elliptical variation.

As we started our walk, I mentioned that I hoped I wouldn't get the rash, but by the end of the walk, I'd made us stop at least 5 times so I could hike up my pants and scratch my thighs raw and/or pour water on them, and was starting to feel an itch on my ass-cheek, which I was not ashamed to reach around and scratch.

I felt bad for Meghan, since she had to stand there and watch me claw at myself schizophrenically on the side of the road.

I Googled it when I got back and it's basically an allergic reaction to the rise in body temperature. I'll need to take an anti-histamine before my workout if I want to continue walking around the reservoir, which I do.

It's a weird thing, but lots of people have it. I have lots of weird things, including my desire to bury my face in my boyfriend's beard and sniff it. I know it's weird, but I just love it up in there.
