I wish I knew hormones is what was going on with me at times. It's fun to have an allergic reaction to yourself.

Which is literally what most of the arthritis variants are, including the big bad, lupus.

I have eczema that likes to flair up randomly, so I sympathize.

Eyelid? Owwwwww. I only have it on the cheekbone, the base of the nose under the glasses, and a bit on the scalp.

[Kattriella]

Yeah, for some reason, mine really likes the right eyelid in particular.

[Tam I am]

I have a LOT of sympathy.

Somehow my guardian angel gets mail here. Guardian Angel's Name (what I call them) Last Name With Meaning To Me got a letter from a consumer protection law firm about the model car we drive. It's nowhere near the names of the people who lived her previously. The same car going to the dealer on Monday to get its check engine light resolved in which will either be a reasonable service for a car this age or more than I've paid in the past for a used car. (that bill will be covered, no worries)

But we're calling the law office today.

Our car has special coolant that only gets changed under ~insert convoluted situation here~ by alchemists using a special concoction. And if it ever needs water to use distilled to keep the system clean.

Hard water is probably what added to the constant cooling system troubles we had with the previous cars.

I learned recently that I may have been autistic all along... My psychiatrist asked me a bunch of questions last appointment, and when I said yes to everything, she said I might be autistic. So I started down that rabbit hole of the internet, and a lot of reasons that I've felt different all my life might have a logical explanation after all...
