To Add To My Woes…

Eponychium is the anatomical term for the huma...

I have my second-ever cold sore on my philtrum, where it meets my top lip.  It looks like a red moustache of the kind beloved by Hitler.

I also have what I thought was a pimple on my right nostril, but it is firm to the touch, extremely tender, and has no head, rather like me in a crisis.

I’m covered in cuts and sores, including my left middle finger, where a nail broke off down to the skin, and pulled off half of the cuticle.

I realised I didn’t have a migraine after all, but a tension headache.  That I could still function was a bit of a giveaway.

Now, I’m not saying it has anything to do with Tory Boy coming home, but let’s look at the facts:

  • Tory Boy comes home
  • I get headache, cold sore, ugly red nose, cuts, broken fingernail

Make of that what you will.

    What’s wrong? He’s supposed to make you happy! It sounds as if you’re run down and need a holiday – hint hint – when are you coming?

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 09:11 #

      I haven’t forgotten, I promise, but I have some things coming up and I’m trying to organise dates.

      He does make me happy; but he’s nagging me to do more personal posts so I’m having a little fun at his expense.

      Think I’ll ever win Mother of the Year? :)

    I had to chuckle at your red mustache Hitler comparision. hehe.

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 09:12 #

      You wouldn’t if you saw it :(

      • sufilight September 4, 2011 at 18:31 #

        Aaaaw, hope you feel better soon!

    Tilly, I gave you a 5 star rating (of course!) and it shows as 1 star? A glitch? Can you delete this?

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 09:12 #

      Thank you!

      Oh poo.

      Unfortunately not.

      Don’t worry; I appreciate the sentiment :)

    Get better soon hun..sorry to hear that you are not well

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 09:13 #

      It’s all self-pity-induced, I’m sure. A few funny comments and I’ll be right as rain. :)

    Funny comments, funny comment… Think.

    I’m just going to give you a snippet from my living room, at this very moment:

    I’m in my nightie, writing to you but I’m aware that my damn gum hurts/I should be at the gym/I haven’t prepared breakfast/I need to prepare breakfast because I’m a rubbish housewife who forgot to go shopping meaning THERE IS NO CEREAL/no shops are open on a Sunday because this is Germany – which officially means I’ve failed.

    Meanwhile my ADHD son is running through the living room in his underpants, brandishing a fly swat, charging against an even more hyperactive fly, who keeps cleverly evading him (sometimes even by landing on the chasing one’s own body parts).

    I agree with Viv, holiday required.

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 09:49 #

      And yet, somehow now, I feel worse… :)

      Thanks for trying, anyway :D

      • sarsm September 4, 2011 at 09:53 #

        :-(

        Oh no. You’ve taken on my stress too.

    • sarsm September 4, 2011 at 09:57 #

      Nooooo, I blame the kids!!!! ;-)

    • sarsm September 4, 2011 at 09:58 #

      Nooooo, I blame the kids!!!! ;-)

      Shall we go on holiday together?

  6. sarsm September 4, 2011 at 09:59 #

    I’m really cheating now!!

  7. Carole September 4, 2011 at 10:42 #

    You are run down in excitement?

    • Tilly Bud September 5, 2011 at 09:25 #

      Then it must be a permanent state because I get excited at the smallest things :)

  8. Tinman September 4, 2011 at 11:39 #

    Yeah, we blame our kids for everything too…

    By the way, it’s good to know that you’re firm to the touch and extremely tender in a crisis :) .

  9. joni September 4, 2011 at 14:09 #

    Get well soon! :D x

  10. Janie Jones September 4, 2011 at 15:24 #

    My goodness… What have you been doing?!? Well, what ever it is knock it off. And get well soonest.

    • Tilly Bud September 4, 2011 at 15:25 #

      Just blogging, really. I’ll stop, shall I? :)

  11. gigihawaii September 4, 2011 at 16:35 #

    You poor thing! Hope you feel better soon!

  12. SchmidleysScribbling September 4, 2011 at 19:11 #

    I’m still finding my way around Tilly. To bad about your woes. Always remember Scarlet O’Hara, things will be better tomorrow. Dianne

    • Tilly Bud September 5, 2011 at 09:27 #

      Scarlett and I could be twins (fraternal, obviously) :)

  13. Big Al September 4, 2011 at 20:01 #

    Sorry you’re feeling punk. Fortunately for you, I have studied medicine on the internet. Here’s my advice: write two blogs and call me in the morning. Unless you don’t have free international roaming, in which case you should email me. Don’t forget the 5 hour time difference (I have a terrible bedside manner if I’m the one in bed.)

    • Tilly Bud September 5, 2011 at 09:28 #

      I think that’s this week’s winner, Big.

  14. Pseu September 5, 2011 at 01:33 #

    Check your blood sugar. I would -but I can’t reach from here.

    • Tilly Bud September 5, 2011 at 09:31 #

      How? Please don’t tell me to go to the doctor; by the time I get there, I’ll be well again.

      • Pseu September 5, 2011 at 21:20 #

        Well I understand some chemists offer a service… but a fasting blood sugar could easily be taken by the practice nurse…

        Seriously, though… recurrent skin infection should be checked out with screening.

  15. ElizOF September 5, 2011 at 12:14 #

    Get some rest Tilly and do feel better… You are stressed out and need some real down time now. Take it and heal.
    Sending you virtual hugs and healing light… :-(

    • Tilly Bud September 8, 2011 at 07:42 #

      Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by :)

  17. Jo Bryant September 8, 2011 at 22:29 #
