shingles doesn't itch - it's painful. And it tends to be in one area, not all over (mine was on my right thigh). So I'm guessing some kind of allergic reaction (not saying it's not shingles, but this isn't typical of it). Whatever it is, it sounds awful!

The museum of illusion pics are too cute and funny.

Good Morning Queen JB and Menuers,

Yesterday was my Monday and today is my Friday. How lucky was that. I had a nice time off. We went to see Tesla last Friday at the casino (free) we heard the band playing and stopped at the box office to see who was playing and they said here if you want to go. We stayed for a couple songs. I went to the pop-up Beetlejuice bar. It was kind of cheesy. Hit a Mediterranean food Festival Saturday after I put up all the fall decorations and changed my shoes from summer to winter. Went to a festival and took Rudy with us Sunday. Rudy is such a good boy and loved all the pets he got. Monday, I went to the yuck doctor, Tuesday I ran around picking up prescriptions for Mom (Another UTI) Grrr, we also got to the Museum of illusion but did not give ourselves nearly enough time. We stayed for 2 hours but could have stayed a lot longer. Wednesday took mom to the doctor and did a spin class. So, I kept busy, and I did enjoy the time off. I can't remember the last time I took time off without travel. I don't think It will happen again any time soon. There is way too many things I want to see and if all else fails I always have Costa Rica.

Museum of illusion:

Beetlejuice bar

The hand dipped chocolates and cookies I won at the basket auction from the Mediterranean food festival. The chocolates were the Viral Dubai chocolate bar. so good.

"...though my deterioration is proceeding apace."
Was this a typo?

I remember after WLS it took a while for people noticing my weight loss, but once the compliments started I was so pumped. Ride that wave and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
