Barker’s Barkings.

A few days after I knew my Shingles was disappearing I went out with my friend Kurt.

Kurt was suffering from what appeared to be a sinus infection (I guess he gets hit with all sorts of particulate matter when he works in the produce section of Walmart), .. needless to say..

He passed it off to me.

I’m now sitting here in my computer room with the symptoms of a sinus infection.. so thanks a lot to him.

Not much else is going on with me that I can really write about. I’ve done a food diary for my doctor, who requested one when I went to him to see how well I’m eating.. and other than that.. not much else is going on.

Other than that.. I have my The Dark Knight tickets and I’m looking forward to seeing it when it comes out.

I have Shingles.

Yes.. Shingles. Doctors usually describe it as “A viral infection of the nerve ends in the skin characterized by pain and itching of the lesions,” but I have to describe it as the suck.

It is quite seriously the most painful thing I’ve ever faced in 27 years of life and getting certain things like the Flu and what not.

The thing that bothers me the most about this is that I’ve been doing the best I can to get myself to a normal “healthy”ness, by walking almost every other day, taking good long scrub baths, and making sure I’m clean. I also have been watching my dietary plans a whole lot.

What’s this get me?

Shingles, and more weight.

This isn’t fair.. or fun.
