In quarantine

As you approach your late 30's you think that you have had all the usual childhood infections but no, I am sat here in quarantine having been diagnosed with Chicken Pox.



Am I feeling sorry for myself? A little maybe, but I am cheered up by the fact that the initial feverish symptoms have subsided and thought of 5 to 10 days off work on Doctors orders is total quality time and with no interruptions and no other demands it means that I can finish some modelling projects :-)


I had Chicken Pox while I was in University, and it isn't fun to have as an adult.

I recommend Aveno oatmeal baths. It was the only thing that stopped me from peeling a layer of skin off!

Cheers!

My youngest (26 now) when quite young gave them to my father-in-law (mid

50's then). Boy was Grandpa pissed! Rest of the family teased him unmercifully which made matters even worse! Said he itched for years after and still does when he th> As you approach your late 30's you think that you have had all the usual

I sympathise! Got it from my daughter when I was 38...

I was off work for 5 weeks! I had a face like a hairy pizza, as the spots meant I couldn't shave. They were in my mouth, on my eyelids, all over my body, including the dangly bits.

I couldn't decide whether I was itching or stinging...

Did that near the end of second grade. I got well in time to finish the end of the year. Two weeks out of school I came down with the measles. I thought I had a heck of a story for the kids back at school but we moved over the summer so I never got to tell them.

we ain't got liver, would you like spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam? there's not much spam in that.

But I don't want ANY spam...

Look...could you do me spam, eggs, sausage and spam without the spam, then?..

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

I appreciate your suffering. I caught a second dose of it in my early 30's which was quite severe and kept me in bed for two weeks.

You may not feel up to it and physically may find it painful to do much modelling. However, any progress you make on the models is well worth it.
