Tomorrow I'm going to Michigan's Adventure for the 2nd time this year. And it really is a bit of a worrisome situation.

I still have this giant red, swollen spot on my upper right arm from my yellow fever vaccine.

Before, I go on with that, here's a side note. Last night I decided at 11:30 pm to make a rice sock to warm up and put on that ugly, perfect little round circle 'cuz it was 'ahurtin'. My coworker, Mrs. B thinks that a rice sock is the solution to everything: cramps, back pains, bum ankles, sore muscles...anything & everything. The great thing about the rice sock is you can use it cold (freezer) or warm (microwaved). It's kinda like my grandma and her heal-all-remedy of epsom salts. Except you gotta get in a bathtub and soak with those nasty suckers and they make your water look like you just bathed with a seal. Anyway, the rice sock was a great source of relief.

Back to the ugly spot. It's about the size of...lemme see here...(*Lookin' around my apartment) a large spoon. And it's red. Now, to the untrained eye (wait, it's not like I could count on someone to go, "why yes, that is clearly the imprint of a yellow fever vaccine) it may look like a hickie or even something left by some type of worm. Ring worm perhaps? I don't know, I've never had worms. Anyway, this bumpy/red/thing is just nasty. I'm a bit concerned about going to the water park & parading around in a bathing suit all day. People are going to be like "I ain't gettin' in the water with whatever nasty arm over theres got going on. That shits gotta be contagious!"
