I feel like a leper.
So, getting ready for a weekend trip, where I will be meeting FDH's bosses and coworkers. Every year they do this big golfing/obsticle course weekend in Kansas. They pay for our gas up there and the hotels...pretty much everything is paid for by the company.
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!
Until I woke up with a fever blister the size of Montana on my face.
Yes, I know fever blisters are HSV-1 aka herpes simplex virus type 1. I feel hideous. I only get them like...maybe twice a year! But my stupid ass went out on the motorcycle with my friends last weekend and got hella sunburned, and thus this monster popping up on my face.\
I hate it. I'm tempted to cover it in gauze and say it's a chemical burn from some bad sunscreen.
