Relaxing Forest Day

Every time we tried to schedule a camping trip this summer, it fell through and Spousal Unit was beginning to chaff at the confines of society, so we decided to do a little day trip, just us, to a forest up the mountains so he can do some exploring and relaxing.


It clearly worked, since he looks so very very content here.


I really did enjoy the woods around us, but I also discovered I feel pretty darn vulnerable there, whereas woods are SU's place of peace the way the beach is mine.


He went off exploring and I guarded our campchairs, but the clearing we found was really pretty with fun wood and fallen tree formations.

Manly Muffin Why-nots

Image
I did something crazy today. I blame one of my favorite webcomics for it, actually, specifically, this page of it: The webcomic is Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. It spoofs the most masculine characters in video/computer games and popular culture and is very cleverly written/drawn. And I admit, I adore buff guys. It's all Rosslyn's fault for introducing me to it, but I don't mind. Rosslyn read this page over my shoulder Monday evening and echoed the little girl, saying, "Why not?" In doing so she and the Commander's daughter unwittingly named the project: Manly Muffin Why-nots.

Facial Cyst--OW

Image
It started small. I thought I was just getting a deeper pimple on my cheek just off my nose, and did my usual skincare routine. But then, this past week, it proved to be something different. I woke up to get ready to go to work. My face hurt and felt extremely hot, so I went to the bathroom and discovered what was really happening. (I apologize: none of the pictures are going to be flattering or pretty, but nothing graphic, don't worry.) My face had swollen up on that side and with the amount of pain I was in, I knew this had to be a cyst, not a simple zit. I called out sick and then went to work finding a local dermatologist ASAP. A few hours later I took another picture before heading in to my appointment. It had gotten worse, puffing up under my eye and everything. I was so grateful to be seen that very day. Once in the office, they did agree it was an inflamed cyst and gave me my options. Draining it in office was a bad idea since, by being inflamed, it was clearly infected and
