this weekend was my trip to reno/carson city for the women's grassroots lobby days weekend. it sucked so bad for various reasons, so i left early. i am probably going to get a lot of shit for it, but im sorry, i thought it was going to be informative and insightful....well, i guess it was insightful for the sheer fact that I know realize why this state (Nevada) is so fucked up. I met the women that have power and mold education and healthcare here....they are all old, mean, rich and crabby ladies that are just straight up bitches. Its sickening to me....but everything now makes perfect sense.
i got a personal injury attorney and am now going to PT 3 times a week. It's insane....and scary at the same time. All of this legal stuff really scares me.
My sister comes in tomorrow. i am SO excited!
I love my dogs. really. they are awesome.

back to the ER...well, i went back to the ER today. My hives are out of control. come to find out, I AM ALLERGIC TO THE TATTOO INK. wtf? yea, like 1% of people who get tattoos end up being allergic to the ink used. awesome. but i have finally been prescribed some drugs that should fix it. we will see about this one.
but i get another day of excused work....wonderful drugs that make people way too sleepy to drive or operate anything. i guess i can't complain about that.
this week it's supposed to get up to 80 degrees! i am sooooooooo excited! but it's one more reason to give whores an excuse to wear hoochie skirts and tubtop belly shirts with stripper heals. I guess you take the bad with the good....
i don't know what else to write. i am too drugged to care at the moment. please forgive....

there is no snow in las vegas, but....I still got in a car accident today anyway. Some dude rearended me on my comute to work this morning. I have damage to my car again.... car accident #2 sicne I have moved here. insane.
so i went to work. my head started pounding....then i thought about it, and yes, my head hit the steering wheel when the accident happened. i decided to go to the hospital, and after 5 hours of waiting, find out I have a concussion and whiplash, along with a severe allergic reaction (my hives), a throat infection, and a sinus infection (all of which are unrelated to the accident except for the concussion and whiplash). Man o man. So now my mom is like, "lets sue that fucker!" we will see about that mom....
bad things always happen in three's. this is my third this time around. I had my last "bad things" session when I first moved here: sophia's ear infection and surgery, my first car accident, and my grandmother dying).....This time it's hives, the phone, and car accident #2. how many htings can one person handle without becoming insane?

what a messso this whole tattoo thing sucks even more (bare with me):
I switched from the A&D ointment to lotion yesterday....I bought lubriderm shea and cocoa butter lotion and started to use it this morning after the shower. My tattoo already was itching like hell, but when I got to work this morning, I realized it was starting to get hives around it. That's funny.....so I took a benadryl and continued my day. but then my feet got all itchy, and wearing flipflops today, I looked down at my feet and realized that my feet had hives too. So, I ran to the bathroom to check out my legs....HIVES ALL OVER! and of course, seeing the hives only made them itch more. So I took more benadryl and tried to work some more. By 2, I was woosy from the drugs, so I left and went home to lay down.
fastforward to now (11:20pm PT), my hives are out of control. So I took a shower to get any left over lubriderm that was on my skin off, because the only thing that could have made me break out in hives is the lotion considering that is the only thing that I have changed in the past day....and I put it all over my legs, tattoo (which is on my stomach) and my feet. ugh! So now I have these awful hives and I can't sleep, much less sit for a minute without freaking out. fuck this. I need a shot of cortizone or something to stop this itching. ugh!

I hope that was a cold shower you took. Reason I say that is I know someone who had Hives and took a hot shower and it just made them a lot worse. I just hope it isn't the Tattoo that caused all of these problems, hope you get better soon.

so while I wait....So while I wait for my new phone to be delivered by DHL (see last journal entry) I thought I would write....
I have an evironmental health exam at 4. I am nervous, but I think i got this shit down pretty well. I am kinda nervous about reciting the nitrogen and carbon cycles, but at the moment I feel pretty good about it...
the tattoo is "healing" according to the ol' wise one, danny, becuase it itches like a mother fucker. and what's worse is that it's right on my pants line, so i haven't worn real pants in a week and a half. wtf. STOP ITCHING!!!!!!!
Next weekend I am going to Reno, NV for a legislative lobby/grassroots weekend with my friend Uzma. I am excited...considering I have never seen any of Nevada other than the shit city I live in....I hear nothern nevada is beautiful. so I'm down. The day I get back my sister comes in to LV....that should be fun.
And a skin update (for those of you who care):
Murad system is not working for my skin, so I am going to make an appointment with danny's dermatologist. Back to modern medicine i guess....something has got to give. Acne as a pre-teen, to a teen, to a young adult, and now to an adult. Will it ever go away? I am desperate at this point....
and, my dogs are all beautiful. I am one lucky person to have the wonderful animals I have....
and (e:lilho), i have to say, that metallic thingy jennifer hudson was wearing was quite awful. I definitely prefered the dress she wore after she accepted her oscar during the press conference.....much lovelier (if that is a word).
k all. happy tuesday.

The closest I've been to Nevada, besides just passing through Las Vegas airport, is Death Valley, CA. The desert in the southwest is by far one of my top favorite places ever!

Oh yeh, everything I have seen, read, heard about Nevada (outside of Vegas) is gorgeous for the nature lovers. Its one of my targets for adventuring!! :)
Gah, my niece is having major skin problems too. She had been on Proactive which worked perfectly for her. She was able to fade back on the extent of use and # of products, then I think she eventually stopped using it, which was a big no-no. Now her skin is freaking out. I think she may try going back to Proactive, but I recently heard her mention going to a dermatologist for starters. So maybe she had tried restarting to no effect?
I agree with lib, that we 'manifest a lot through our skin'. Best of luck to all that :)

I care about your skin :) This isn't any disrespect to dermatologists, but from my personal experience with them they don't always look to address fundamental issues. Of course this is just from my experience, I can't speak for everyone. My problem has been with psoriasis. Of course it used to be a lot worse when my life was hell. Now it is only in hell part of the time so it isn't as bad. This isn't my advice to you in any way, but I just started taking essential fatty acids and my skin and hair have improved greatly in a short period of time. My advice is yes go to dermatologist, but remember that treating the problem does not end the problem. Maybe you can ask them about alternatives to prescription drugs if they do not offer the information themselves? We manifest a lot through our skin. I know that for sure.

Wow - that is sort of an odd allergy to have. For something like that, do you need to take that medicine forever?
