I got James a new t-shirt for Christmas, he wore it Christmas day, and by the night had a bad reaction to what we assume is the glue that keeps on the front picture. It's happened once before but that time I thought it was just because it was a random cheapish t-shirt from Amazon, this one is from a company he's worn stuff from many times before so the reaction was a surprise.
He did see a doctor at work who said it was contact dermatitis and should go down within a few days, but it's been four now and while it's not as angry, is still spreading. So he just phoned to say he's got an appointment at the walk in clinic at 8 tonight. Hopefully, they'll prescribe something that will take the itch away as I must have heard that he's itchy a thousand times lately.
But man, there's always something.
Before Christmas, I ordered some wax melts and shower stuff, at a big discount, from a place I've used often. That parcel arrived this morning, and the shower gel lid hadn't been closed properly, so the box and packing peanuts are all coated. I've emailed them as while the melts and unicorn soap are fine due to being protected by bubble wrap, a lot of the shower gel is gone.
My dishwasher is acting up again, with power but no water. I've tried my usual tricks to get it going but no joy. It was second hand when I got it, so has done well to keep going as long as it has, especially as it was on multiple times a day over Christmas and Boxing Day. And really, out of all the white goods going off, I can cope without a dishwasher the best. But I do miss the convenience.
I got a lovely comment about Painted Ponies the other day, and after replying, I ended up reading the full story yesterday afternoon. It's been a while since I did so and man, I enjoyed it. Mikey Way the supermodel and the bodyguard who loves him still hits the spot. It was kind of sad to see the names of the people commenting, so many people who were a huge part of my bandom experience and have now gone onto pastures new. And some who are still around of course, either here or elsewhere.
But yeah, I do recommend reading your own stuff now and then.
