Itchy, Patchy Skin

I've got this spot on my neck, right at my Adam's apple (or my Joey's apple...that's for Trip...really it should be my Muir's apple) which has been there for about a month or so and it itches like crazy. For a while it seemed to be fading but I woke up this morning and it's larger and giving me fits. I'm trying my best not to itch it but it's killing me. I guessing it's an eczema patch but I've never had eczema before so that's weird, right? I thought we had some topical cortisone cream but apparently we don't. I think we did but I probably tossed it when I went through the many medicine "cabinets" because it was expired. Anyway, I'm going to have to stop at Kroger on my way to school because I'm not going to be able to go through today without relief. 

Speaking of today! It's the last day with kids! Can I get a long and loud WOOT!? Kids will come in at 7:30ish to take their 7th bell exam and then they're out of there by 9:30. I'm not sure how I'm going to sit there all day with really nothing to do. Maybe I'll take a minute and head to Aldi. That's an idea. I ended up sending all my progress reports yesterday and then I started creating Google Forms for chapters in The Help which we'll read next year. I guess I'll continue doing that today to kill some time and save myself time next year. Everything else is really done. 

In celebration I think Jim and I will go out to dinner tonight. Most like to El Picante! Yummy!

Oh, I forgot to update you all on Jim's stuff yesterday after his latest appointment. His doc has actually said to Jim that he's "cancer free". I don't really trust this but am certainly hopeful. The doc is also talking about having Jim stop his meds. This, of course, makes me really nervous. It hasn't happened yet so we'll see. My biggest question is: How often, off meds, will he get a scan? Currently, on meds, he's going every 6 months. I'm not really comfortable with that if he's off meds. We'll have to talk doc! 

I watched the 2nd to last episode of Ted Lasso yesterday. I got a text from Trip telling me how good it was and of course I couldn't hold out until Friday to watch. It was so good! I cried like a little baby a couple times. I'm excited to see what happens but I'm sad to see it end. However, as Trip said, it's better end it with the fans wanting more. An interesting thing I'm just going to put out there. On Apple TV for the final episode it says, "Season Finale" rather than "Series Finale". It makes you pause, doesn't it. It sure leaves the door open! 

The series with Rose Byrne and Seth Rogan was dropped yesterday, "Platonic" and I was going to watch it but my TV downstairs is being an asshole. It was weird, I was able to watch the 2nd half of Ted Lasso. I finished it, exited out to live TV while I did some things for dinner, came back to watch an episode of "Platonic" and it wouldn't load from my apps manager. I'll have to riddle it out later. 

Okay well, like I said, I have to stop at Kroger on my way in so I need to head. Happy Thursday! I might be posting a little later tomorrow because I'm going to sleep in about a half hour so keep your panties on (Maggie). Later!
