"Perhaps I'll Be a Highwayman Again..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Bwaaaaah.

Work to-day was lovely. ^_^ I checked in on Eleanor, after Monday's scare, but she's all right--Virginia is going home to-morrow...! Virginia is going home to-morrow, but her lady companion said perhaps she'll come back in to check on Eleanor. We're all still worried after Monday. I told Eleanor I'd be coming to look in on her every time I was in.

And I got Anne to talk about rainbows and snow. ^_^

I spent a long time with Herbert, and we played with Porche, the cat, and fed him, and we talked about nothing particularly, but I think Herbert liked the visit. He doesn't get much in the way of company, it seems like, so I wanted to spend some time with him. And I twirled my skirt for Esther, and made her smile.

And Mary T. is back! She was here last spring, and she remembered me! She said, 'You're the girl who writes poetry!'. And my hair's a different colour since she last saw me, and everything. Oh, I was awfully flattered. I like her so much. Though I'm very sorry she had to come back; but she said she'll go home in about a month, so that's all right. ^_^; I mean to enjoy her while she's here, then.

And I visited Charlie. <333333

And, and, let's see (i love my people), I'm a good way through the valentines, I've made ever so many to-day, I might even finish them to-morrow, if I work all afternoon when I get home from the nutritionist's. Remind me from now on to call my therapist Mary Jo and the nutritionist Marie. They're people, not jobs, and they have names. I need to use them. (I can go on calling Dr. Levine and Dr. Conti 'the scary man at the clinic' and 'the psychiatrist who looks like the lawyer from Jurassic Park', though. :P) At any rate, I made valentines for them both, because honestly. The trouble is, of course, now I want to make valentines for everyone. I want to make them for Michelle and Linda and all the personnel at work, and at Curves, and my whole family, Villie and Johanna and Uncle Joi and Aunt Jeanie, and I want to send one to Jenny and Siggi in Iceland, and, I don't know, hand them out to people on the street-- I have this problem. I'm already going to make about one-hundred altogether, but I want to make more. #^_^# Hi we are stupid and this is why we don't have any time to sleep.

...I need to do my history exam to-night, so I won't be online. I'm getting very behind, and I can't put off Zeus and his oxide queen any longer.

Oh, and the TMI medical bulletin says:

Can't treadmill for a few days. Blisters all over my feet and the skin is coming off in huge pieces, and I'm having trouble walking. Bah. Also, a rather large and disturbing piece of my tongue came off to-day, and I have sores all over it (my tongue, not the bit that came off). Not sure what this is from, but I shall have to be careful what I eat for a bit. Also, headaches nigh-constantly. But it turns out my dizziness when I stand is from low blood pressure, which means it is not a problem, which is good. And I'm still taking all my many medicines, although I've missed my multivitamin again, so I'm probably not getting the things I should be.

Waugh. Life is jumping on me all of a sudden. I shall try to get things in order and be back to-morrow. <3333 I love you all so much. I'm sorry for all this crazy.

Ewwww, your tongue??? GROSS!! *flails* I hope it's not because of anything awful.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. O________________________O was kind of my reaction. I think the sores are making it come off.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

PLEASE DO NOT DISINTEGRATE. THX BAI.

And take your vitamin, demmit.

But yay for work going well! *snuggles*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I DON'T EXACTLY WANT TO. ;_______________;

...Yes'm. To-morrow.

^__________^ *loves* I love my people...!!

[tiamatschild.livejournal.com]

0_0 You BETTER not be treadmilling. Or I'll track you down and tickle you to death.

*huggles you* And I'm glad work went well, and eee, Valentines!

(Also, I'm editing a fic I desperately want to show you!)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeep...! Mum said I can't, though, so I shan't...! I suppose.

^______^ I love making valentines. I'm so silly. Paper and glitter glue.!

(Ohhhh! I want to seeee! ^_________________^)

[tiamatschild.livejournal.com]

I have FEATHER DUSTERS, lady! And I'm not afraid to use 'em.

:D It's fun! Mine are not so involved. But they have superheros and are shiny.

(Right ho! *edits dilligently*)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*squeaks and promises*

Oooooh. Shiiiiny. ^___________^

(*bounces*)

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Stop falling apart, Miss. If this continues, I shall not have any of you left when you come visit. I shall have, oh, I don't know, a severed hand, and I've already one of those.

You're so lovely. Your Valentines sound wonderful, really. You know, one year you should start very, very early, a little at a time, and then actually hand out Valentine's on the street. I don't know what the random people would think, but it would be such a beautiful thing to do.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know about that. My personal history and yours dictates that by all rights my skull ought to be the piece that makes it through.

You may judge that when yours arrive. I sent priority. <3333 I will, you know. Next year. Last year I only made sixty-three. This year I'm doing a hundred. Next year I'll do two-hundred, and be everywhere, and give them to anyone, where-ever I go. See if I can make people smile. ^_^ I read a picture book in the library where they did that. I'll do my best.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...Oh, I can see it now. "Alas, poor Soujin. I knew her, Waen." ...not quite the same ring to it, Miss. Still. I'd put you on my bookshelf.

I can't wait! --and that would be lovely. A lot of work, but still. ^___^ It strikes me as something a Soujin would do.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Not quite. H'm. Well, I expect I'd fit nicely there. You'd pose me with black roses in my mouth?

^___^ -- It would make me ever so happy. I don't mind the work, actually, I find. It's really very relaxing. I put on music and just sit there and cut and tape and glitter--it's nice. Soujins like that. They are rather convinced that everything can be fixed, can't it, with some nice stickers?

[josiana.livejournal.com]

A bit of your tongue came off? .................Oh my. That’s...more than slightly worrying. O.O

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

;________; I know. I'm not happy. It was exceedingly nasty.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Eep. You poor thing. *offers tea and various nice things*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*clings and attempts to look pathetic in order to get more nice things*

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Ach! Our Soujin is in bits!

Eat things with plenty of protein. That might help you a bit. +HUG+

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

She iiiiiiis. Falling apart everywhere.

Really? All right. ...There's lots of protein in my multivitamin. You don't suppose this is a side effect of not taking it?

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

I don't think this is a side effect, but I doubt that forgetting your multivitamin helped. Proper nutrition, plenty of rest, and not picking at the peeling skin are all going to help you. Also, try to pay attention to what your body is doing. Blisters mean that your skin needs more protection when you work out--and perhaps that you do too much of it for your poor skin to handle. Sores on your tongue often mean viral infections, although sometimes that kind of thing accompanies a really sudden hormonal imbalance. Your body may be responding to the shift of your psychoactive medications--that's something that will even out in time.

The body heals best, though, when it's nourished with accessible proteins. Beans are particularly good, as are peanuts; meat works, too, especially if it's baked or roasted and not boiled or deep-fried. You may want to start drinking more water and milk and orange juice, but that's just something that's generally a good idea.

Get sleep. Don't stress too much over things. Take your multivitamins. EAT (because if you're losing bits of your body, you need to take in enough to both run your body and heal the missing bits). Hopefully, the sores and chunk-loss and blisters will start to clear up in a few days; DO NOT HESITATE to bring this up with your nutritionist and any other medical professional you in the next few days. My opinions are based on generalities and experience of what works and some LIMITED medical knowledge; I am no substitute for a professional.

. . . and bask in the love of your friends. That helps, too. =)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

You're amazing. Yes, ma'am, I'll do it all, ma'am...! ^___^ I'll tell Marie about some of it and see what she says, and I'll rest, and I drink loads of water anyway, but I'll be good about it, and I never eat fried meat, so that's all right. And beans, yay! I can do that.

I love you. I love you I love you I love you.

[bewareofitalics]

...I believe you already know what I'm going to say about your feet, so I'll skip it. *g* But omg your TONGUE! Ack! Be very careful, certainly!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yep. :D BUT OMG, I KNOW. ;_________________; I will...!

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

*hug* I'm going to stop telling you you're wonderful for loving all your people now, because it's becoming redundant ^^;;;

... Sounds like leprosy. Did you know that there's a cure for leprosy? a really cheap one? well, 'ccording to my African History teacher...

Be not sorry, for if we were bothered by the crazy, we wouldn't care ~.^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*giggles and pounces* My people Are. That I love them Is. It's not something that needs acknowledging.

Not really? Oh, dear. What does your African History teacher say? O_O

There is that. ^_^

[tomecatti.livejournal.com]

I had to read that at least three times to understand it... ^^;;;

That there's a cure for leprosy that costs like ten cents a person, but crazy westerners won't ship it to africa for some reason.

that is always there ~.^
