For being away so long, I apologize.
I have been sick. For about a month.
At first I thought I was having a bad allergic reaction to something I don't know.
Then the hives got worse and then I thought "bedbugs." I know, gross.
I became quite paranoid and pretty much vacuumed and cleaned and recleaned and re-recleaned everything I had.
But the damn hives didn't get any better...that is until I was put on steroids.
Apparently it was an allergic reaction to either a viral or a bacterial infection that I had recently.
Well, so far, the itchiness and hives have gone away for the most part. Lets hope they stay away for good once I finish the steroid regimen.
On another note, I went to a friend's wedding and managed a slow dance with one of her friends towards the end of the reception. Then I asked for her number (my friend's friend). Then she gave it to me. Problem is, she lives in Connecticut and getting in touch with her is a bit dodgy. I called her a week ago, she called me today, I texted back. I'll call her again tomorrow to see if I can make a date happen.
So my Massachusetts rotation is all finished. It was a very mixed outcome at the end of it all. I had an Honors and Pass grade...I guess I wasn't as good in my last rotation as I thought I was. On the upside, I did learn a lot, and I enjoyed myself there for the most part. Now if only they'd send me an invite for an interview.
Speaking of which, I have 11 residency interviews to date. The first one, being done this past week. Not much to go on. Lots of vague questions, and plenty of me, being absolutely nervous and possibly babbling the whole time. That and I was fighting the fatigue from the night before, not being able to sleep properly because I was so nervous. I hope the next interview will be better.
So, that is my update. More to come soon, I'm sure.

DISLIKE!! Freaking hives, good gracious!! Well honey you know the other fun option - a gf, df, sf life with lots of acupuncture, oatmeal baths and yoga. Yes I understand why you want the other alternative. Though I will say I've been hive free so far this fall.
PS Yay to the dance and lady - looking forward to the update.
Well, my body is doing well, aside from the hyperpigmentation. My hands, however, still feel quite itchy and raw and peeling. Yes, I'm looking forward to this update w/ the lady as well.
