I TOTES forgot to tell yall about my recent run-in with SHINGLES. I wake up one morning with this odd bump on my shoulder, thinking, “that’s odd, I must have been bit by a spider.” I go to clinical, get a TB skin test and go back in two days. While I’m getting it read, I mention to the employee health nurse that I have an odd bump. She decides it’s shingles and I must leave the hospital promptly. I come home, see a nurse practitioner, who agrees and prescribes a ridiculously expensive anti-viral for me to take. The thing is, it wasn’t painful!
My dad’s reaction? Starts singing “all the single ladies”, only with as “all the shingle ladies”. Thanks for your support dad.
And now, I’m the “girl with shingles” on my floor, which happens to be where I’ll be working for the next two years.
going into the book. seriously.

LOVE!
