Week 24: Redness, and Bumps, and Itching, Oh My!

5.20.13 Day 163: Arms are Flaring with a capital F. Red, itchy, dry, awful. Its like my skin decided to give me a break for graduation and wisdom teeth and is now back with a vengeance.

and here is my neck which has been giving me grief lately

5.21.13 Day 164: I swear its spreading up and down my arm from the crease. Trying to stay in the air conditioning so that I can wear long sleeves :( To make it better, some complete stranger at work looks at me and says "omg you are SOOO tan!" Now if you have seen a single one of my pictures you would know that I am as white as it gets and this was obviously a poorly executed insult on my appearance. So I am dealing with a flare, my face is STILL swollen and hurting, and now I have this girl making fun of me to my face. You really just can't win with people. Well girl that is so tan its gross, being white means that I'm NOT RED, so screw you. K, that was my rant, I promise I'm done. :)

Song of the Week: "Come on skinny love just last the year. Pour a little salt, we were never here...I tell my love to go and wreck it all. Cut off all the ropes and let me fall. My, my , my, my, my, my, my, my, but right in this moment, this order's tall. And I told told you be patient, and I told you to be fine, and I told you to be balanced, and I told you to be kind."
