No, although I did kick myself for taking one more dose– I’d felt funny and had started getting hives and my solution was to take another pill, like a dummy. But fortunately I wasn’t reacting so violently; I woke up the next morning looking horrifying, and promptly called my doctor and was given an immediate appointment and when the nurse saw me she full-body recoiled away, which was– gratifying but terrifying?

They didn’t give me a shot in the butt, either, but I got a Z-pack of steroids and a full course of another antibiotic. I only had two pills left in the first set, and I saved them for a while, thinking it would be funny to like encase them in resin and make them into earrings, but I never did. 

I’ve never before or since made a nurse literally recoil in horror from my visage, I tell you what.

It gives me something to do now, when medical professionals ask me if I have any allergies. “Sulfa!” and they’re always like “ah yes” because everyone knows you don’t just spontaneously know about an allergy, there’s always at least an element of The Hard Way in there.

I did that thing where I was checking out a wip I haven’t touched in a long while, and before I knew it I was really sucked in and just reading it and enjoying it, and then it just fucking ended abruptly during a good scene and I nearly started screaming, and then I remembered it’s my own fucking wip and that means I have to be the one to fix this and finish it and I really really nearly started screaming and just asdfghjkl

Hey op, you didn’t have to come into my house, drag me out of bed, and proceed to drown me in my own bathtub

Packaging chickens with one of this year’s apprentices (there are three, and this one is the young woman who the truck ran away from on Saturday, I’ll call her A but the joke is that all three of them have names beginning with A). We were discussing living in Wyoming, where her family was mostly based, and I’d just said something along the lines of how the population isn’t very large or dense out there, is it, or something like that.

A: Well, I couldn’t date any Hispanics.
Me: *silent boggle*
A: Because I’m related to all of them.

Then she noticed my reaction and laughed her ass off.
