Today marks the first beauteous day of the year. 75 degrees in my hometown. Unfortunately it also marks my first ever run-in with shingles.
I'm not talkin about no roofs or shitty meat you eat, i'm talkin' good ole varicella/zoster virus sayin hello after a dormant 26-year stay in my body. Also known as random painful old people chicken-pox-ish nerve pattern rash. And it's like pain - straight up weird ass pain. I thought i had swollen glands behind my ear, like i had mono or some tonsil thing going on ....... I had one of my doctor bosses check me out cause i was like "this is the weirdest swollen gland pain ever!" Doctor boss was like - "you lucked out darling, It's shingles!" Total shock on my end. Really? So weird. I made the mistake of googling pictures of shingles and they only show extreme cases of blistery bumpy rashes and people having bells palsy and lazy eyes and rotting skin. If you like weird medical pictures, check it out - totally worst-case scenario wild!
Oh wait, back to something nice - So i was at work this morning and my coworker was going to the keurig machine to reload on coffee and offered to grab me one......i go and pick up my coffee mug off my desk, i wasn't sure if i had washed it before going home yesterday, so i peered into the pretty blue mug and guess what i found..........A HEART SHAPED COFFEE STAIN! fo'real
"wow this is the best, this totally rocks my socks!" I ran around my office so stoked to show anyone i could find, it was like the most random romantic thing to ever happen to me. And then i got shingles. But hey, i'm still smiling about that coffee stain - that was amazing and made me feel kinda cheesy inside.
