If you haven't guessed already yesterday I went to my first ever dermatologist visit and I have to say it was...awkward... Having some dude gently touch your face that isn't your husband is kinda weird. I'm not saying the Doc was weird or anything just the situation, especially when the poor guy had to touch my nasty legs! First of all I had to apologize to him in advance for the condition of my legs and he replies "why are they hairy or something?" and I quietly reply, "yes..." His response makes me think I was not the first lady to come into his office with furry legs. I wasn't kidding either, I haven't shaved my legs since I went to Hawaii in December, sorry if I'm bordering on TMI here. :p
So I had to pull up my pant legs and flash my nice white, hairy, hive-ridden legs so the Doc can check it out but he wanted to get the full leg experience so he proceeded to take off my shoes and my socks for me, which again, having a dude other than my husband do that was a little weird but whatever, he's a doctor, right? That automatically makes any probing or prodding of my body ok... Anywho, now the poor guy gets the nasty leg & the nasty feet to enjoy, at least I recently got a pedicure.
The diagnosis? I'm apparently having an allergic reaction to something. Since I haven't been using anything different on my skin I now have to cease and desist on using anything on my skin except for the ointment that he prescribed me. Even make-up! I have to go a full week with no make-up, ugh, it's gonna be scary. I'm gonna have horrifying 365days pictures...
All in all I think I had a successful dermatologist visit and hopefully my face will soon stop feeling like a consta-sunburn.
After my fun little visit I decided to celebrate my acquisition of ointments by stopping off at the bookstore on my way back to work and get myself a S'mors Luna Bar and a Sprite Zero. When I got back to the office I was so excited about my soda that I was not cautious of the opening of the soda and it exploded everywhere! Not a quite little explosion that you can hide and discretely clean up the mess before anyone notices, but a huge loud, the whole office heard explosion! My boss totally turned around and gave me a 'snuh?' face. It was a touch embarrassing... I then had to go do the walk to shame to procure myself some paper towels to clean up my huge mess. I will now be much more cautious of opening sodas from here on out.

I knew about the hives on your legs, but I didn't know your face hurt too! I'm sorry, that sucks. You look just great without makeup, but whenever I don't feel so hot about being in a 365, that day's photo will be of my feet, hands, back, etc;)
That's a good idea, I guess my photos for the next week will be of the non-face variety. :D
It is only strange if he starts sucking your toes.
LOL! Oh, ok, that's good to know. :p
Bummer! Once when I had barely been working at my job, I walked in with a FULL Big Gulp of Diet Coke, bumped the cup on the side of the front desk and the whole entire thing fell on the floor! I was so embarrased and it left a huge mark. Everyone kept teasing me and trying to figure out what country it looked like. Humiliation!! I finally had to leave early that day, I was so embarrased!
Sheesh! At least it wasn't that bad. :p
