Pointless Grumbling
Jul. 31st, 2009 08:54 pmAh, bugger. It seems my recurring case of Turning Into A Pangolin is … well … recurring. Patches of dry skin sprouting up all over my legs.
I used to think this was a drawback of the dry air I love so much, until I went to Kenya and came down with a case of what my sister called African Spots.* I’ll take scales any day.
Plus, now I have an excuse to hang out on the deck in the sun.
*There is nothing more reassuring than having your doctor look at your back and say, “WHOA! I’ve never seen anything like that before!” Followed by “Here, just smear this stuff on it. The beauty of this is that I don’t even have to diagnose the problem because this stuff clears up ANYTHING.”
